HP Integrity Essentials Capacity Advisor performs numerous functions.
At a fundamental level, it collects data from utilization monitoring
daemons on systems and workloads. Using this data, it can report
on utilization of memory and core processing units. Based on
this data, it can be used to calculate what the utilization
would look like if the load were increased or decreased. Going
further, it can simulate what utilization will look like if
loads are combined. This goes beyond simple addition of maximum loads
to provide a dynamic addition of components based on the time
sequence of utilization measurements taken from the actual loads
running on real systems (see “Peaks and Sums”).
