1. A method for identifying or predicting capacity problems in a system comprising:
- (a) identifying at least one internal capacity variable for the system;
(b) identifying at least one external capacity variable for the system;
(c) identifying at least one key performance indicator for the system;
(d) constructing a data-management framework comprising and separately setting forth;
(i) the internal capacity variable, and (ii) the external capacity variable;
(e) defining at least one target key performance indicator;
(f) defining at least one external-capacity-variable range for the external capacity variable;
(g) defining at least one future growth parameter for the external capacity variable; and
(h) analyzing the future growth parameter and the external-capacity-variable range in view of the data-management framework to identify the capacity problem.

Abstract
Methods to identify and predict capacity problems in systems. The methods of the invention involve identifying, defining, and separating: (1) the set of internal capacity parameters, (2) the set of external capacity parameters, and (3) key performance indicators, for system administrator analysis. Such separation of these sets of variables and parameters followed by their presentation in a data-management framework, greatly enhances the capability of a system administrator to detect and predict capacity problems.
