Resource management is a part of capacity management, which shows the necessary service requirements on the basis of business demands and deduces the resource capacity based on this.

Taking all of the results from the load tests (performance management) into account, the optimum load distribution for the existing system is worked out and guaranteed with the help of tuning and workload balancing.

An important objective of resource management is guaranteeing demand-related service performance at minimal costs. It makes sure that the existing resources are optimally used and that needed adjustments are planned and realised in a timely manner as scheduled.
