The #1 guide to Web capacity planning now completely updated!
A quantitative analysis of Web service availability
An integrated coverage of benchmarking, load testing, workload forecasting, and performance modeling of Web services
Example and case studies show how to use each technique in the latest Web services, portals, search engines, mobile and streaming-media applications
A quantitative framework for planning the capacity of Web services and understanding their behavior
The world's #1 book on Web capacity planning now covers the latest Web services, e-business, and mobile applications! Capacity Planning for Web Services: Metrics, Models, and Methods introduces quantitative performance predictive models for every major Web scenario, showing precisely how to identify and address both potential and actual performance problems. Coverage includes:
Web services: protocols, interaction models, and unique performance, reliability, and availability challenges
State-of-the-art capacity planning methodologies
Spreadsheets implement the solutions of the models presenteed in the book
Specific issues and workloads associated with HTTP and TCP/IP protocols
Benchmarking current performance at system and component levels
From accommodating current usage peaks to defining service provider SLAs, Daniel A. Menasce and Virgilio Almeida cover every aspect of capacity planning helping you optimize every tradeoff between cost and performance.
This bookis the best guide available to understanding the uniqinvolved in delivering today's Web services.
