Business Metrics and Capacity Planning

چکیده
One of the major goals of capacity planning is to ensure that the business service level objectives are met. Identifying the relationship between Business Metrics of Interest (BMIs) and available system performance metrics is critical to accurate models and forecasts. BMIs represent the real world transactions that drive our business workload’s resource consumption. This paper will define the characteristics of a good BMI and give techniques for identifying the best BMI choice from the many possibilities. We will discuss analytical tools, formulas and techniques used, and describe both theoretical ideals and real world cases. We will also show examples on how to use increasingly fuzzy BMIs to make great capacity plans.
