Capacity Factor Calculator

The Capacity Factor of a system resource with a target configuration defines its processing capability with respect to a base configuration for the same system resource. For a given capacity factor, there may be more than one way to arrive at the actual deployment configuration. The two broad choices available based on the underlying support from the application architecture are scale-out and scale-up.

More information is available in the Methodology Pack CAP137.
