1. A method for evaluating performance and/or capacity of a server system infrastructure comprising a target system, wherein said server system infrastructure comprises at least one of a server based computing or virtual desktop infrastructure, the method comprising:
- a) loading the server system infrastructure with simulated user workloads;
b) increasing the number of simulated users on the target system; and
c) determining, based on controlling workload execution from within the target system using a server-side script, a capacity of the infrastructure when a response time, including a baseline response time and a fixed latency, exceeds a predetermined response time threshold due to the loading of the infrastructure in said step a) and increasing the number of simulated users in said step b).

Abstract
A method is disclosed for simulating user load and evaluating performance and/or capacity of SBC or VDI datacenter infrastructure. The method runs workloads on a virtual desktop infrastructure for an increasing number of virtual users. When the average response time of the infrastructure to perform operations exceeds a predetermined threshold, the number of simulated users at that time may be considered the capacity of the infrastructure.

16. A method for evaluating performance and/or capacity of server based computing or virtual desktop infrastructure comprising a datacenter, the method comprising:
-
a) loading the infrastructure with simulated user workloads, the simulated workloads loaded in successive segments, each successive segment performing a number of actions taking a different length of time to perform; b) increasing the number of simulated users, each successive new simulated user performing a different segment first and then proceeding to perform successive segments; and c) determining, based on controlling workload execution from within the datacenter using a server-side script, a capacity of the infrastructure when a response time exceeds a predetermined response time threshold due to the loading of the infrastructure in said step a) and increasing the number of simulated users in said step b). - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
