A transit authority's TCO model for migrating garage systems assumes every on-premises rack runs at 100% useful utilization. What must architects do during selection to keep the business case honest?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Comparing a half-empty parking garage to a full lot will lie about savings. Measure real utilization on those racks so TCO reflects useful work, not fantasy 100% busy hardware.
Full Explanation
Credible migration TCO during Task 4.1 selection depends on measured on-premises utilization, not assumed 100% productive capacity. Idle and lightly used servers inflate perceived on-premises cost if treated as fully used. Inflating watts, skipping measurements, or equating reserved capacity with continuous useful work all distort the selection business case.
