Estimating Business Service Responsiveness

摘要

An embodiment includes gathering input data including observed utilizations of allocations and business service response times. The input data is partitioned into a plurality of data sets that include at least one training data set and at least one test data set. A model is generated that predicts responsiveness using the at least one training data set. The model is evaluated using the at least one test data set, and a business service response time distribution is predicted using the model. An embodiment may use a trace-based capacity planning methodology to estimate the impact of planning alternatives on business service responsiveness.
