Three Steps for Capacity Planning

In this paper we will illustrate three basic steps for capacity planning:

1.       Determine Service Level Requirements

The first step in the capacity planning process is to categorize the work done by systems

and to quantify users’ expectations for how that work gets done.

2.       Analyze Current Capacity

Next, the current capacity of the system must be analyzed to determine how it is meeting

the needs of the users.

3.       Planning for the future

Finally, using forecasts of future business activity, future system requirements are

determined. Implementing the required changes in system configuration will ensure that

sufficient capacity will be available to maintain service levels, even as circumstances

change in the future
