Premium Workload Characterization
The Premium User workload is an advanced knowledge worker. All office
applications are configured and utilized. The user has moderate-to-large file size
(access, save, transfer requirements). There is some graphics creation or editing
done for presentations or content creation tasks. Web browsing use is typically
research/training driven, similar to Standard Users. The Premium User requires
extensive image personalization, for shortcuts, macros, menu layouts etc. The
workload requirements for a Premium User are heavier than typical office workers
in terms of CPU, memory, Network and Disk I/O. This will limit density and
scalability of the infrastructure.
