Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The purchase price of new hardware equipment is not directly related to capacity planning. Capacity planning is focused on ensuring that the system can handle the expected workload, and while hardware may play a role in this, it is not the primary consideration. The other factors listed (maximum number of users, minimum response time, impact of future applications, volume of transactions) are all critical to capacity planning.
