Our sales team does capacity studies for us all the time (at least annually), and I haven't seen them distort any numbers either.

Having a vendor doing a Capacity Study is akin to: The Farmer yells into the henhouse: "How's it going"? The Fox yells back: "Send in more chickens"! >You can supply them with a peak usage week of SMF/RMF data usually at no cost. I've not seen it at no cost for years. The last one I was involved in/hired for cost my company $750K (US). And, as always, a capacity study (especially the first one) involves an upgrade (see above). - Too busy driving to stop for gas! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html CONFIDENTIALITY/EMAIL NOTICE: The material in this transmission contains confidential and privileged information intended only for the addressee.
