PerMoTo - Performance Modelling Tool Suite

Abstract

Modern enterprises make use of distributed service-based IT infrastructures to handle their day-to-day business. To remain competitive, IT-services have to be performed of high-quality but cost-effective. However, today's productive large-scale system environments suffer from an enormous complexity due to the sheer component size and their highly dynamic and compositional nature what makes capacity planning a challenge. We currently develop a prototype tool suite named "PerMoTo" to support decision makers in the fields of capacity planning, performance evaluation, workload characterization and system tuning.
