Virtualization is a hot topic at the moment, with many companies considering the pro’s and cons of going virtual. However how can you plan resources and capacity in such an environment? The new version of Caplan does just that, by providing organisations with the ability to automatically simulates placement scenarios of both virtual and physical machines on virtualized infrastructures with respect to (custom) business or technical constraints.

Caplan 3.3 new features include:

· Virtualization Planning
