Challenges Faced by Client
· CPU utilization and memory utilization of Vmanage was higher than the healthy threshold of 50%.
· Vmanage was running out of disk space in DC. Hence, DR had to be made active.

Denovo Solution to Client
· Upgraded memory on existing UCS 220 servers from 96 GB to 192 GB and assign 128 GB DRAM to existing vManage.
