Method and system for evaluating performance of a computer system

摘要

The present invention provides methods and systems for evaluating the performance of a computer system to enable capacity planning. With respect to the present invention, performance data (metrics) collected from computing devices are used to generate performance results. A set of utilization factors are calculated to forecast computing needs without a long manual analysis of large volumes of data. A user has access to a graphical representation of the utilization factors to determine a forecast of capacity needs based on the information calculated.
