Availability and Capacity Management in the Cloud - An ITSM Narrative Account

The truth about integrating Cloud services and ITSM

Cloud functionality increases flexibility and capacity in IT systems, but it also adds complexity and requires a combination of business, financial and technical expertise to make it work effectively. Moreover, organisations often confuse availability with capacity, and assume incorrectly that using cloud services reduces the need to manage these factors.

Lessons from real projects in a narrative format

In Availability and Capacity Management in the Cloud: An ITSM narrative, Daniel McLean’s fictional IT service management practitioner, Chris, faces the challenge of integrating cloud services into an ITSM structure. Based on the real-life experience of the author and other ITSM practitioners, this book tells the story of a cloud services implementation, exposing potential pitfalls and exploring how to handle issues that come with such projects.
