An administrator is planning for a server that will host a new application. The application's resource usage is unknown, but the company expects rapid growth. The administrator has historical data from a similar application. What is the best way to predict the new application's resource needs?

Use the maximum resources available to avoid any risk.

Use the historical data from the similar application as a baseline and adjust for expected differences.

Wait until the new application is deployed and monitor its usage for a month before planning.

Assume the new application will use the same resources as the similar application without adjustment.

A company is planning for the next year's capacity needs. Historical data shows that CPU usage has grown linearly over the past two years, but the company is about to launch a major marketing campaign that is expected to double the user base within six months. The administrator needs to predict CPU requirements. What is the most appropriate approach?

Assume CPU usage will remain constant and plan for current levels.

Extrapolate the linear trend from the past two years to predict next year's usage.

Add 50% more CPU capacity immediately to handle the expected growth.

Use the expected user growth to model a new workload forecast, combining historical trends with the projected increase.

Which element is typically included in a capacity planning report?

The personal opinions of the system administrator

The source code of all applications

A list of all employee passwords
