Abstract: A system and method for optimizing the dynamic behavior of a multi-tier data center is described, wherein the data center is simulated along with the resources in the form of hardware and software and the transaction process workloads are simulated to test the resources or the transaction process. The system requires the client computing device and a backend server to have the capabilities to host simulated hardware, complex software applications platforms, and to perform large scale simulations using these resources. The method includes securing parameter inputs from the client that defined the data center resources and the transaction process to be tested, generating various workload simulations, testing the simulations and provisioning the resources, thereby obtaining an optimized dynamic data center simulation of data center resources and the transaction processes.
