Abstract: An embodiment of the present invention is directed to a capacity management and live user location tool. According to an embodiment of the present invention, live location data may be accessed from an active resource associated with a user. For example, live location data may include data from a VDI/LVDI asset that indicates that the user is logged into at a particular point and/or what port (e.g., Ethernet port) is used. An embodiment of the present invention is directed to an Application Program Interface (API) that accesses a directory and live record of assets (from floor to floor) to create a live map to identify capacity. Capacity may include what desks are free and who is sitting at what desk. An embodiment of the present invention may record this information on a day by day basis and generate capacity maps on a periodic basis, e.g., month to month, etc.
