Abstract
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.
