Abstract
A system and method for performance modeling for an information technology (IT) system having a server(s) for performing a number of types of transactions includes receiving data for system topology and transaction flows and receiving performance measurement data for the IT system. The measurement data is clustered into multiple regimes based on similarities. Service demand and network delay parameters may be inferred based on clustered data.
Claims21
A method for performance modeling for an information technology (IT) system having one or more servers for performing a number of types of transactions, comprising:
- receiving data for system topology and transaction flows;
- receiving performance measurement data for the IT system;
- clustering the performance measurement data into multiple regimes based on similarities;
- and
- inferring service demand and network delay parameters based on the clustered performance measurement data.
A computer program product for modeling for an information technology (IT) system having one or more servers for performing a number of types of transactions, comprising a computer useable medium having a computer readable program, wherein the computer readable program when executed on a computer causes the computer to perform:
- receiving data for system topology and transaction flows;
- receiving performance measurement data for the IT system;
- clustering the performance measurement data into multiple regimes based on similarities;
- and
- inferring service demand and network delay parameters based on the clustered performance measurement data.
A system for modeling for an information technology (IT) system having one or more servers for performing a number of types of transactions, comprising:
- a first module which receives data for system topology, transaction flows and performance measurement data for the IT system to be modeled;
- a clustering module which clusters the measurement data into multiple regimes based on similarities;
- and
- an inferring module to infer service demand and network delay parameters based on clustered data to form a model to simulate operations and conditions of the IT system under a plurality of conditions.
