Part IV

Capacity Planning Methodology

Learning Objectives

� Discuss the concept of adequate capacity of a system.

� Introduce service level agreements.

� Present a methodology for capacity planning.

Learning Objectives (cont’d)

� Discuss the main steps of the methodology:– understanding the environment

– workload characterization

– workload forecasting

– performance modeling

– performance prediction – cost/performance analysis.

What is Adequate Capacity?

We say that a Web service has adequate capacity if the service-level agreements are continuously met for a specified technology and standards, and if the services are provided within cost constraints.

Service-Level Agreements (SLA)

• SLAs determine what a user of an application can expect in terms of response time, throughput, system availability, and reliability

– focus on metrics that users can understand– set easy-to-measure goals– tie IT costs to your SLAs

Service Level Agreements: examples

• Response time for trivial database queries should not exceed 2 sec.

• We want the same level of availability and response time that we had in the mainframe environment.

• The goal for Web services is 99% of availability and less than 1-sec response time for 90% of the HTTP requests for small documents.

AdequateCapacity

e.g.: NT and T3

e.g.: response time < 2 sec.

e.g.: startup cost < 100K $

The goal is to learn what kind of

applications)– network connectivity and protocols

are present in the environment.

Methodology

Workload characterization is the process of precisely describing the system’s global workload in terms of its main components.

The basic components are then characterized by intensity and service demand parameters at each resource of the system.

Workload Characterization Process

Wkl component # 1(e.g., C/S transactions)

Global Workload

Wkl component # n(e.g., Web doc. Requests)

Basic component 1.1(e.g., personnel transactions)

Basic Component 1.2 (e.g., sales transactions)

Basic component n.k(e.g. video requests)

Basic component n.1(e.g., small HTML docs.)

Workload Description: exampleBasic Components and Parameters Type

Sales transaction . Number of transactions submitted per client . Number of clients . Total number of I/Os to the Sales DB . CPU utilization at the DB server . Avg. messages sent/received by the DB server

--WIWISDSDSD

Web-based training . Avg. number of training sessions per day . Avg size of image files retrieved . Avg. size of http documents retrieved . Avg number of image files retrieved/session . Avg. number of documents retrieved/session . Avg. CPU utilization of the httpd server

--WISDSDSDSDSD

SD = service demandWI = workload intensity

Data Collection Issues

• How to determine the parameter values for each basic component?

Data Collection Facilities

Use benchmark, industry practice,

and ROTs only

Use benchmark,industry practice, ROT,

and measurements

Use measurements only

None Some Detailed

Data Collection Issues: example

• The server demand at the server for a given application was 10 msec obtained in a controlled environment with a server with a SPECint rating of 3.11.

• What would be the service demand if the server used in the actual system were faster and had a SPECint rating of 10.4?

ActualServiceDemand = MeasuredServiceDemand x ScalingFactor

ScalingFactor = ControlledResourceThroughput / ActualResourceThroughput

ActualServiceDemand = 10 * (3.11/10.4) = 3.0 msec.

Methodology

• How will the number of e-mail messages handled per day by the server vary over the next 6 months?

• How will the number of hits to the corporate intranet’s Web server vary over time?

Workload Forecasting (cont’d)

• Answering these questions involves:

– evaluating the organization’s workload trends;– analyzing historical usage data;– analyzing business or strategic plans;– mapping plans into business processes (e.g.,

paperwork reduction will add 50% more e-mail).

• Workload forecasting techniques: moving averages, exponential smoothing, etc.

Methodology

Cost Model

• A capacity planning methodology requires the identification of major sources of cost as well as the determination of how cost will vary with system size and architecture.

• Startup costs

• Operating costs

Cost Model: categories• Hardware costs: client and server machines, disks,

routers, bridges, cabling, maintenance, etc.

• Software costs: operating systems, middleware, DBMS, mail processing software, office automation, applications, etc.

• Telecommunication costs: WAN services, ISP, etc.

• Support costs: salaries and benefits of all system administrators, help desk support, network people, etc
