Abstract: An approach is provided for predicting system performance. The approach predicts system performance by identifying a Queuing Network Model (QNM) corresponding to a clustered system that handles a plurality of service demands using a plurality of parallel server nodes that process a workload for a quantity of users. A workload description is received that includes server demand data. Performance of the clustered system is predicted by transforming the QNM to a linear model by serializing the parallel services as sequential services, identifying transaction groups corresponding to each of the server nodes, and distributing the workload among the transaction groups across the plurality of nodes. The approach further solves analytically the linear model with the result being a predicted resource utilization (RU) and a predicted response time (RT).

Abstract: An approach is provided for predicting system performance. The approach operates by identifying a Queuing Network Model (QNM) corresponding to an information technology (IT) environment that includes a number of servers that perform a plurality of parallel services. The QNM is transformed to a linear model by serializing the parallel services as sequential services. Hardware based service demands are retrieved from the system. Software-based service demands are inferred from the hardware-based service demands. Predicted performance results of the IT environment are calculated based on the hardware-based service demands, the software-based service demands inferred from the hardware-based service demands, and the system transaction rate of the system.
