A methods and systems for capacity planning of server resources are described
wherein
a load simulation tool is used to use actual data gathered from a server cluster
during operation to simulate server cluster operation in which the load (requests
per second) can be increased, and the effects on the utilization of resources can
be observed. Plans containing recommendations are then presented to a system user
so the user can make decisions necessary regarding whether to change configuration
hardware to meet expected load increases in the future.
