Systematic Mapping Study: Research Opportunities on Capacity Planning
Abstract
The central idea of the research is to improve the efficiency and sustainability of data centers by implementing accurate capacity planning, which will also improve their performance and availability. Various literature reviews have been conducted to understand the current status of capacity planning implementation in different domains and perspectives. However, a more organized and systematic approach is required to map research and implementation results in the relevant areas of capacity planning that have the potential for further development. The present study aims to fill this gap by conducting a systematic mapping study that combines both quantitative and qualitative methodologies. The quantitative approach involved the collection of literature and the classification of topics using the Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) method. On the contrary, the qualitative approach used content analysis to identify future research directions based on keyword trends and topics. The PRISMA framework was followed to guide the search for relevant studies in electronic research literature databases. The mapping results revealed 15 topics, with topics 8, 10, 11, and 15 showing significant potential for further research and exhibiting increasing trends. The identified topics encompass capacity planning, energy and resource management, computing and technology, data analysis and statistics, engineering, and industry, all crucial for businesses and industries to operate efficiently and sustainably. This study provides a comprehensive overview of the state of capacity planning implementation and highlights areas that require further investigation.
