Week 3 Discussion – Reference Workload

Assume that you are the computer performance analyst for your local pharmacy in March 2020 just as the Covid-19 pandemic is taking hold. You will need to quickly come up with a new reference workload for your pharmacy.

Describe the current state of workload for a typical pharmacy before the pandemic became reality from the perspective of the following questions:

· Is it regularly paced?

· Does it vary seasonally or by time of day?

· Is demand growing over time?

· Is it inherently subject to potentially disruptive bursts of activity?

Describe how you think each of these behaviors will change over the next few months based on the impact of the pandemic.

Explain what impediments may occur within the computing architecture due to the change, and how you would address these changes.
