The invention provides a method of modelling a to-be virtualized infrastructure so as to predict the computing resources required by a group of users, comprises the steps of: performing an assessment of computing resources consumed by the group of users by monitoring their use of their non-virtualised infrastucture; deriving at least one of: a User Template Session, a User Template Component Session and a User Template Image, in order to determine latency of computer resources available to the group of Users; determining an acceptable value of latency to the group of users; deriving a value of User concurrency for users within the user group; and deriving a base value, for attributes based upon: application input/output usage and/or CPU usage and/or network bandwidth, said base value being indicative of concurrency values for a specified resource consumed in a virtualized computing environment. Also provided by the invention is an apparatus for carrying out the method, which apparatus includes a display and a man machine interface and operates under the control of software which is performing steps as defined in the method. |
