1. A method of capacity planning for server migration from a first server system characterized by a source configuration comprising a set of source parameters, an original set of workloads and a set of service demands associated to a set of devices, to a second server system, the method comprising:

  • specifying a destination configuration of the second server system;

    transforming the set of source parameters into a set of destination parameters for the destination configuration by scaling a service demand in the set of service demands into a speed independent service demand parameter according to;

    choosing a speed benchmark parameter associated with a device in the set of devices, andmultiplying the speed benchmark parameter by the service demand to arrive at the speed independent service demand parameter; and

    deriving a performance model for the destination configuration based on the set of destination parameters and the speed independent service demand parameter.
