Capacity Modeling - Overview

Capacity modeling is a key function within the Capacity Management process and provides an invaluable feed into business planning.

Do you lack the tools or skills to model your environment effectively and answer those critical business questions?  When should we upgrade?  Can we increase the workload on this server?
