Analysts may measure and analyze a mixed-workload system for a variety of reasons. As a first example, it may be necessary to cut costs by reducing equipment. Before arbitrarily removing some piece of equipment, management should determine how the on-line and batch systems will be affected. If problem areas can be identified prior to equipment removal, action can be taken to reduce any negative impact. The next decision may then involve the selection of equipment to remove. This decision could best be made if comparative data on the performance of the various configurations were obtainable.
