Overview of the capacity planning process for production data processing
TLDR
An overview of techniques available to address capacity planning in the production data processing environment is presented and modeling and prediction are placed in perspective with the overall objectives of the capacity planning process.Abstract:
An overview of techniques available to address capacity planning in the production data processing environment is presented. The production data processing system is briefly described and its capacity is quantified. The measurement tools, reports, and data required to implement a capacity planning program are discussed. Modeling and prediction are placed in perspective with the overall objectives of the capacity planning process. Personnel (managerial and technical) and organization considerations are also discussed.read more

Pricing computer services: queueing effects
TL;DR: A methodology for setting price, utilization, and capacity, taking into account the value of users' time is offered, and the implications of alternative control structures determined by the financial responsibility assigned to the data processing manager are examined.
A Capacity Planning Expert System for IBM System/38.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors deal with the application of expert systems to the capacity planning problem, which is the process of understanding and predicting the performance of a computer installation in order to maintain sufficient processing capacity.

An Approach to the Workload Characterization Problem
TL;DR: Three types of simplified models for the system workload are presented and the probabilistic models can be validated with respect to the real workload and are easy to use in a performance evaluation study.

Analysis of system bottlenecks using a queueing network model
TL;DR: A surprising result is that optimal performance is not attained when queue lengths and processor utilization percentages are equal, but rather when the fastest processor has the longest expected queue and is in effect creating a system bottleneck.
