Abstract
According to one aspect of the present disclosure, a system and technique for capacity forecasting includes a host having a processor unit and a memory. Resource data associated with an environment is stored in the memory, the resource data comprising inventory information of applications, processing resources and storage resources of the environment. A ledger module executable by a processor unit creates a storage capacity-affecting transaction, identifies and links at least one of an application, processing resource and storage resource to the transaction from the resource data, determines an initiation time and duration associated with the transaction, and forecasts a change in capacity of at least one linked storage resource for the transaction and a time of the change in capacity.
