Data Center Capacity & Resource Optimization
Course Code: LSI-DCO-301 | Division of Infrastructure Engineering | Kingsbury, NY
Maximizing Virtualized Infrastructure Efficiency
In modern virtual data centers, misallocated resources degrade performance and generate substantial unnecessary hardware and licensing costs. This course equips senior administrators and infrastructure engineers with mathematical models and practical analysis techniques to right-size compute, memory, and storage subsystems.
Curriculum Units
Unit 1: Compute Sizing & CPU Contention Analysis
Evaluating %RDY (ready time), %CSTP (co-stop), hyper-threading utilization, NUMA topology node alignment, and eliminating bloated vCPU over-provisioning.
Unit 2: Memory Optimization & Contention Remediation
Diagnosing memory reclamation mechanisms: Transparent Page Sharing (TPS), ballooning, memory compression, and hypervisor-level swap file mitigation.
Unit 3: Storage Tiering & Thin Provisioning Governance
Calculating uncommitted storage growth trends, managing thin-provisioned datastore alarms, avoiding out-of-space crash states, and NVMe-oF latency optimization.
Unit 4: Capstone Optimization Project
Auditing a multi-tier mock enterprise workload using raw RVTools telemetry and formulating a defensible 3-year capacity lifecycle roadmap.
