Abstract
A computer implemented framework method for server benchmarking in a client server environment including a server and at least one client system is provided. The method includes the steps of: activating a benchmark manager application program; activating, by the benchmark manager, a benchmark prime program; activating, by the prime program, a system independent benchmark client program; generating, by the client program, at least one workload request to the server; and measuring the server's response to the at least one workload request.
Claims20
In a client-server environment including a server and at least one client system, a computer-implemented framework method for server benchmarking, the method comprising the steps of:
- a. activating a benchmark manager application program;
- b. activating, by said benchmark manager, a benchmark prime program;
- c. activating, by said prime program, a system-independent benchmark client program;
- d. generating, by the client program, at least one workload request to the server;
- and
- e. measuring the server's response to said at least one workload request.
In a client-server environment, a computer network comprising:
- a server under test;
- at least one client system coupled to said server under test, said at least one client system including a system-independent benchmark client object and a benchmark workload object created by said system independent benchmark client object, said workload object configured to generate at least one workload request to the server;
- and
- a prime system coupled to said server and to said at least one client system, said prime system including a benchmark manager object, said benchmark manager configured to activate a benchmark prime object.
A system configured to exchange information with a prime system and a server coupled thereto, the system comprising:
- a storage device storing a system independent benchmark client object and a benchmark workload object created by said system independent benchmark object.
