Predicting performance of a consolidated virtualized computing environment

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium coupled to one or more processors and having instructions stored thereon which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations for improving keyword searches, the operations comprising:

• processing benchmark workloads using a plurality of virtual machines to generate a plurality of traces, each trace comprising data corresponding to requests issued by a respective virtual machine operating in an isolated environment;
• storing the plurality of traces in one or more trace repositories, each trace repository provided as a computer-readable storage medium;
• selecting a trace from the plurality of traces stored in the one or more trace repositories;
• parameterizing a queuing model based on the trace, the queuing model representing request queuing in the consolidated virtualized computing environment;
• and
• processing the queuing model using one or more processors to generate one or more response time estimates for the consolidated virtualized computing environment.

A system, comprising:

• a computing device;
• and
• a computer-readable storage device coupled to the computing device and having instructions stored thereon which, when executed by the computing device, cause the computing device to perform operations for improving keyword searches for enterprise services, the operations comprising:
