Answer / guest
Answer: B
Capacity management requires that the expansion or reduction
of resources takes place in parallel with overall business
growth or reduction. Input from user and IS management is
required to develop a capacity plan to achieve the business
goals in the most efficient and effective manner. Hardware
monitoring procedures and reports are used to monitor the
effective and efficient use of hardware. Network management
procedures cover the activities that control and maintain
the network. They provide early warning signals of problems
before they affect network reliability. Job scheduling
procedures determine a set of jobs and the order of priority
for execution.
