Tags: Proceedings , 2012 , SHARE in Atlanta 2012

The forced flow law in a balanced system would lead one to think that the size of a resource, such as storage (RAM), could be a function of processor usage. This presentation looks at the balanced system set of resource ratios, storage in particular. Topics will include

* Balanced systems metrics,

* Building a function F(resource usage) = F(CPU),

* New zSeries storage data in SMF 113 as a picture of storage usage,

* Is it possible to project storage usage for capacity planning? Ray Wicks, IBM Corporation
