CompTIA Server+ SK0-005 Practice Question

Usage in an IT asset-management context refers to how heavily, how often, or by whom an asset is consumed during its operational life. Capturing average CPU and memory utilization over a defined period provides quantitative evidence of how much work the server actually performs. Finance and capacity-planning teams can compare this utilization against required service levels to identify under-used systems that could be consolidated or redeployed, avoiding unnecessary capital expense.

Warranty dates, physical location details, and patch levels are important asset attributes, but they describe ownership, logistics, or configuration-not how intensively the hardware is used. They therefore do not meet the policy's explicit requirement to record Usage information.
