First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- receiving, into a capacity planning system, workload information representing an expected workload of client accesses of streaming media files from a site; and
said capacity planning system determining, for at least one server configuration, how many servers of said at least one server configuration to be included at said site for supporting the expected workload in a desired manner.

24. A method comprising:
-
receiving, into a capacity planning tool, information about a first server configuration;
receiving, into said capacity planning tool, workload information representing an expected workload of client accesses of streaming media files from a site; and
said capacity planning tool determining how many servers of said first server configuration to be included at said site for supporting the expected workload in a desired manner. - View Dependent Claims (25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36)

37. A system comprising:
-
means for receiving workload information representing an expected workload of client accesses of streaming media files from a site; and
means for determining an optimal number of servers of a given configuration type to be implemented at said site for supporting the expected workload. - View Dependent Claims (38)

39. A method comprising:
-
receiving workload information identifying an expected workload of client accesses of streaming media files from a server; and
determining a service demand profile for at least one server configuration under evaluation; and
determining from the service demand profile how many of said first server configuration under evaluation are needed for supporting the expected workload in a desired manner. - View Dependent Claims (40, 41, 42, 43, 44)

45. A system comprising:
-
a media profiler operable to receive workload information for a service provider'"'"'s site and generate a workload profile for a server configuration under consideration for supporting the service provider'"'"'s site; and
a capacity planner operable to receive the generated workload profile for the server configuration under consideration and determine how many servers of said server configuration are needed to provide sufficient capacity for supporting the site'"'"'s workload. - View Dependent Claims (46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52)
