14. WORKLOAD FORECASTING


Workload Forecasting using CA's U.S. patented Neugents
technology software allows you to develop nonlinear models
that relate different resource consumption data elements from
one or more capacity planning database files. This
forecasting capability addresses the following requirements:

o The investigation of possible relationships among different
  resource variables

o The forecasting of future requirements of a resource
  variable based on estimates of the future requirements of
  one or more different resource variables.

The following sections describe how Workload Forecasting
operates and the reports it produces.

This section contains the following topics:
