Abstract

An overview of techniques available to address capacity planning in the production data processing environment is presented. The production data processing system is briefly described and its capacity is quantified. The measurement tools, reports, and data required to implement a capacity planning program are discussed. Modeling and prediction are placed in perspective with the overall objectives of the capacity planning process. Personnel (managerial and technical) and organization considerations are also discussed.
