Disclosed is a method of modelling a system that delivers information to a group of users. The method starts by defining for a group of users the maximum number or expected concurrent number of users. The method then defines an expected geographical location of the users, allocates the size of the computing resources for the users, including the communication bandwidth, storage size, RAM allocation and processor power. The bandwidth allocated is that required to deliver the information to a user in a usable form, the information including audio, audio-visual and text content. On the basis of this information the likely data output demand to be provided to the user is estimated. This estimate is compared with the amount of computing recourse allocated to the group of users to derive a metric of how well the computer recourse has been tailored to the expected demand. The method may be used to model a learning or training deliver system. The method may use a graphical user interface showing the locations of physical hosts is used to allocate the computing resources and the data stores. |
