In IT capacity planning, what is the main reason organizations model both current usage trends and projected future growth rather than provisioning for peak load alone?

Correct! Well done.

Incorrect.

The correct answer is D) To balance cost-efficiency with performance — avoiding both wasted spend on excess idle capacity and the risk of under-provisioning as demand grows

D

Correct Answer

To balance cost-efficiency with performance — avoiding both wasted spend on excess idle capacity and the risk of under-provisioning as demand grows

Explanation

Capacity planning seeks a balance: provisioning purely for worst-case peaks can waste money on idle resources most of the time, while ignoring growth trends risks future shortages. Modeling both trends and projected growth helps organizations scale resources cost-effectively and proactively.
