Description: Hardware utilization measures how effectively the physical resources of a system are being used. This includes components such as CPU, RAM, storage, and networks. It refers to the ability to monitor and analyze the performance and health of these resources in computing environments. Hardware utilization is crucial for optimizing performance, reducing costs, and ensuring that systems operate efficiently. Through monitoring tools, administrators can identify bottlenecks, overloads, and underutilization of resources, allowing them to make informed decisions about resource allocation and scalability. Measuring hardware utilization also helps forecast future needs and plan capacity, ensuring that resources are aligned with demand. In a world where businesses increasingly rely on infrastructure, observability of hardware utilization becomes an essential component for maintaining competitiveness and operational efficiency.
