Abstract: A performance data collection unit collects the performance data of managed CPUs from a performance measurement unit. A grouping unit compares the collected performance data with each other, forms groups of CPUs whose performance data is approximate to each other, and selects a representative CPU of each group. A performance data transmission unit transmits the collected performance data to a performance data management apparatus that accumulates and manages the performance data. In this connection, the performance data of the representative CPUs of the groups is transmitted at specified transmission intervals, and the performance data of the other CPUs of the groups is transmitted at transmission intervals that are longer than the specified transmission intervals.

Abstract: An analysis method for carrying out an analysis for responses of a computer system including a plurality of servers, includes: obtaining data concerning a CPU utilization ratio of each of the plurality of servers from the computer system, and storing the data concerning the CPU utilization ratio into a CPU utilization ratio storage; obtaining processing history data generated in the computer system, generating data of a request frequency by users of the computer system, and storing the processing history data into a request frequency data storage; and estimating an average delay time in each server by using the CPU utilization ratio of each server, which is stored in the CPU utilization ratio storage, and the request frequency stored in the request frequency data storage, and storing the estimated average delay time into a server delay time storage. By carrying out such a processing, the analysis can be carried out without changing the computer system to be analyzed and any additional cost.
