Practical systems modeling: planning performance, availability, security, and moreComputing systems must meet increasingly strict Quality of Service (QoS) requirements for performance, availability, security, and maintainability. To achieve these goals, designers, analysts, and capacity planners need a far more thorough understanding of QoS issues, and the implications of their decisions. Now, three leading experts present a complete, application-driven framework for understanding and estimating performance. You'll learn exactly how to map real-life systems to accurate performance models, and use those models to make better decisions--both up front and throughout the entire system lifecycle. Coverage includes: State-of-the-art quantitative analysis techniques, supported by extensive numerical examples and exercisesQoS issues in requirements analysis, specification, design, development, testing, deployment, operation, and system evolution Specific scenarios, including e-Business and database services, servers, clusters, and data centersTechniques for identifying potential congestion at both software and hardware levelsPerformance Engineering concepts and toolsDetailed solution techniques including exact and approximate MVA and Markov ChainsModeling of software contention, fork-and-join, service rate variability, and priorityAbout the Web SiteThe accompanying Web site provides companion Excel workbooks that implement many of the book's algorithms and numerical examples.

Delivered in time. The copy I received was pretty neat except for the minor cover damage which was already mentioned since I bought it from the defective products.

2.0 out of 5 stars Dated book, and it shows
Reviewed in the United States on 27 October 2020

This book was published in 2004, and direly needs a 2nd edition. While it is a great idea to apply numeric methods to estimate system performance, the methods described are now mostly useless - all these DB server examples would be much cheaper to optimize by just doing simple benchmarking and buying more powerful hardware - man-hours to do calculations are way more expensive. And where it might be really helpful - e.g. at large scale with 1000s of machines or at top cloud providers - most of the methods are not applicable.

So would really love to see a fully rewritten 2nd edition that will focus on modern performance techniques.

This edition is just 2 stars.
