Real World Capacity Assessment[article] Capacity assessment has become a necessity in today's complex network environments. Indeed, conducting rigorous assessments can not only bring peace of mind and improved performance and stability to the final system, but also saves time and money. Conducting these assessments requires tools that properly address the realities found in environments such as the Internet or enterprise network infrastructures. In fact, conducting assessments without these realistic factors can be risky, often not resulting in a real world picture of the performance or capacity of the system. We introduce CawUsers as the definition of a real world user-assessments using CawUsers will vastly improve the understanding and confidence in a system to meet the demands and rigors found in the real world. |
