Riassunto

Assuming there is very little time or expertise available for the task, systems engineer Cockcroft and information technology architect Walker provide detailed recipes for performing capacity planning tasks for high-growth-rate Internet services. They assume no previous background in capacity planning, and avoid the detailed mathematics of queueing theory as much as possible. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Dalla quarta di copertina:

Capacity planning is a well known discipline, particularly for sites that have a mainframe oriented background. The explosive growth of Internet sites and E-commerce has presented new challenges in managing performance and capacity. In many cases, time constraints and business demands can prevent normal capacity planning techniques from being applied. Classic datacenter capacity planning methods can be adjusted and successfully applied to this new Internet-centric computing environment.

This BluePrint charts a course through the available techniques and tools, examines timescales and return on investment for different methodologies and provides a framework for decomposing big problems into solvable subproblems.
