Understanding Consumption

Infrastructure Results - Part 1. Various Consumption Levels

The first 4 sections in the results column can be described as follows:

• @Current - This represents the current level of consumption based upon the workload profile, the infrastructure profile and the constraints you entered in the Inputs area

• @Target - This represents the @MAX level less the Reserve % you set - thus becoming the available level or Target amount of consumption you can have before using up any of your reserve resources

@Target Note: This is also where you can quickly see how much is left UNUSED by %, this something you will want to keep track of and this represents the level of inefficiency present

• @Max - This represents the maximum level of consumption you can have before ANY of your individual resources get consumed at 100% usage, thus creating your first resource bottleneck

• @Theoretical - This represents the total consumption you can have if you used up 100% of ALL individual resources at the SAME TIME

@Theoretical Note: This is usually not possible, cause action is normally taken when any single resource hits 100%, thus creating a resource bottleneck and restricting continued usage of the remaining resources
