In my Organization we are running couple of 840's , 810's etc and it has
come time to upgrade them to newer i5 models

What I am looking is a tool to do capacity planning on the Series

I have heard of a tool called Performance Navigator from
(http://www.mpginc.com/ ) which seems to do a good work and also have heard
that BMC has a tool called Predict.  Is there any other tool that can be
used effectively for Capacity planning ?

If anyone has used Performance Navigator , I would like to know their
experience as how accurate it was and similar for BMC Predict tool

One of the differences which I had seen was that BMC Predict tool uses Queue
Depth for modeling while Performance Navigator does not. Performance
Navigator  takes trending data and growth into account for Doing The
analysis

Any Help / information would be appreciated

Thks in advance
