Ideally, when our 95th-percentile hits 65% utilization, we begin the pricing and planning process and its up on peoples radar. Once the 95th-percentile hits 80-85% we start planning the maintenance and execute the upgrades. I say ideally, because in a perfect world this would happen 100% of the time.
We try to upgrade when the 95th is at 80-85%, because the 95th-percentiles is based off 5-min polls, so I am sure traffic is spiking higher at peak times.
