Framework for Doing Capacity Sizing on System z Processors

This session will review the steps necessary for doing a capacity sizing for a processor upgrade. The session will focus on the data required and the documentation necessary to begin the sizing, as well as the steps necessary to best use the LSPR data and zPCR to produce an accurate capacity plan. The session will also talk to the impacts of specialty processors on general purpose engines, as well as capacity planning for these specialty processors. This session is a recommended prerequisite for the zPCR lab sessions.
