What is utilization?




Q: What is utilization?

A: "Utilization" is the ratio of time a system is busy (i.e. working for us), divided by the time it is available. For example, if a system was available for 160 hours and busy for 40 hours, then utilization was (40/160 =) 25 per cent. Utilization is a useful measure in evaluating computer performance.
