Methods and systems for capacity planning of server resources are described
wherein fixed resources of a server cluster are used in comparison to
similar server cluster benchmarks to determine the maximum load--requests
per second--that can be handled by the server cluster. The maximum load is
used to determine utilization of server resources and to provide estimates
of server resource utilization for hypothetical loads. A recommendation as
to changes to server resources to handle the hypothetical loads is
displayed to the user.
