workload
In computing, the workload is the amount of processing that the computer has been given to do at a given time. The workload consists of some amount of application programming running in the computer and usually some number of users connected to and interacting with the computer's applications.



Develop a Solid Virtualization Capacity planning Strategy
Developing a strategy as an IT capacity planner entails using careful calculations to estimate space, hardware and software resources. Virtualization further complicates the already daunting task of devising a capacity planning strategy. This essential guide will help determine what it takes, how virtualization fits into the picture, what potential problems might occur and which tools to use
A defined workload can be specified as a benchmark when evaluating a computer system in terms of performance (how easily the computer handles the workload), which in turn is generally divided into response time (the time between a user request and a response to the request from the system) and throughput (how much work is accomplished over a period of time).
