Abstract
Media, systems, and methods for ensuring adequate data-processing capacity in a communications network are provided. An embodiment of the method includes identifying a communications resource to evaluate, determine a maximum capacity that the resource is capable of handling, projecting a capacity-exhaustion timeline, wherein the timeline includes time estimations that are adjusted by an adjusting factor that is based at least in part on an accuracy of prior projection estimates. Determining a more accurate capacity exhaustion timeline allows for more accurate comparison against a time required to add such capacity. Recommends to effect capacity additions can be provided.
