Special Uses

WLP can also assist in disaster recovery or backup configuration planning. With WLP, the data center can define workload and resource models and project the requirements of this workload/configuration combination. The workload demand and available capacity cannot be the same as normal during recovery from a major disaster. A company can redefine the workload model for WLP to reflect only those jobs that must run in spite of a disaster. Appropriate user management personnel can review and then approve copies of the projected workload completion times. This way, WLP can help define a suitable configuration for processing the required work. Realistic planning information greatly assists decisions on the suitability of alternate CPU/peripheral configurations.
