Patent number: 7610186Abstract: A methods and systems for capacity planning of server resources are described wherein a load simulation tool is used to use actual data gathered from a server cluster during operation to simulate server cluster operation in which the load (requests per second) can be increased, and the effects on the utilization of resources can be observed. Plans containing recommendations are then presented to a system user so the user can make decisions necessary regarding whether to change configuration hardware to meet expected load increases in the future.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2004Date of Patent: October 27, 2009Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Matthew C. Odhner, Giedrius Zizys, Kent Schliiter

Patent number: 7313620Abstract: Methods and systems for capacity planning of server resources are described wherein fixed resources of a server cluster are used in comparison to similar server cluster benchmarks to determine the maximum load—requests per second—that can be handled by the server cluster. The maximum load is used to determine utilization of server resources and to provide estimates of server resource utilization for hypothetical loads. A recommendation as to changes to server resources to handle the hypothetical loads is displayed to the user.Type: GrantFiled: July 23, 2004Date of Patent: December 25, 2007Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Matthew C. Odhner, Giedrius Zizys, Kent Schliiter

Publication number: 20050235273Abstract: A system and method is provided that facilitates the administration of an application in accordance with the present invention. The system includes a resource identifier that identifies resources associated with the application and a manifest that logs the resources. An aggregator is provided that aggregates a subset of the resources into the manifest to facilitate administration of the application. The aggregator can be provided by a user interface and/or an automated builder. A graphical user interface is also provided to facilitate deployment, creation and enumeration of the application.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 22, 2005Publication date: October 20, 2005Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Daniel Travison, Kent Schliiter, Martin Sleeman, Lara Dillingham, Boyd Multerer, Roger Sprague

Publication number: 20050081157Abstract: A user interface to display and manage a plurality of entities as if a single entity is provided. The user interface includes a representation of the collection of entities as a whole, and a representation of members associated with the entity. If an action is performed on the representation of the entities as a whole, then the action is propagated to the collection of entities, if the action is performed on the representation of the member associated with the entity, then the action is directed to the member.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 18, 2004Publication date: April 14, 2005Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Quentin Clark, Lara Dillingham, Justin Grant, Boyd Multerer, Ori Amiga, Kent Schliiter, Roger Sprague, Alexander Sutton, Daniel Travison
