Abstract
Techniques and systems for providing capacity planning for data center services are disclosed herein. In some aspects, a multi-tier service is analyzed to determine a query response time (QRT) that can be used for resource planning or other service management reasons. The QRT may include a front end (FE) response time of FE servers and a back end (BE) response time of BE servers, where the BE servers are partitioned servers, and where the response times are based on various request rates from users. In various aspects, the QRT may include a network transmission time of data transmitted between an end user and each tier. In further aspects, the FE response time may be modeled using a single server queuing model while the BE response time may be modeled using a simulation or regression analysis.
