services. Therefore, as shown in Table 18-1, the expected growth rate of 5% is reflected in the fore-
cast editor for the workload.
The workload’s baseline will be tailored according to the workload’s resource usage patterns.
Every day of the year is the same for this workload. As a result, the workload’s baseline will be
based on a single day. The screen shown in Figure 18-13 illustrates a change in the baseline to
reflect a single day of the workload’s historic profile.
All three of the workloads’ profiles have been edited to accurately reflect their utilization pat-
terns. Their baselines have been tailored according to the business function each workload serves
and their forecasts have been customized according to the expected growth in resource require-
ments. The next step in this example is to create a Capacity Advisor scenario to perform what-
if experiments with the workloads.
