Methods and computer programs for formulating messaging platform capacity projections
First Claim
1. A computer-executable method for formulating a planning recommendation for a messaging platform capable of accepting and storing electronic messages for delivery to one or more mailboxes, the method comprising:
- receiving mailbox data specifying a projected maximum number of mailboxes to be provided by the messaging platform;
receiving growth assumption data specifying a projected change in average message size of electronic messages accepted by the messaging platform over time;
receiving traffic assumption data identifying a portion of message traffic on the messaging platform projected to occur during any periodically recurring time interval for which message traffic has previously exceeded a predetermined threshold;
receiving baseline data specifying at least one maximum performance capability of the messaging platform;
receiving messaging platform data specifying any of;
a quantity of incoming messages to be accepted by the messaging platform, a quantity of accepted messages to be stored by the messaging platform, a quantity of stored messages to be deleted by the messaging platform, and a quantity of stored messages to be retrieved by the messaging platform;
generating a messaging platform planning recommendation by applying an algorithm to the received mailbox data, the received traffic and growth assumption data, the received baseline data, and the received messaging platform data;
placing the generated messaging platform planning recommendation into a humanly discernible form by at least one of;
printing the planning recommendation, displaying the planning recommendation on an electronic display mechanism, or outputting the planning recommendation in audible form.

Abstract
Computer-executable methods and programs for formulating a planning recommendation for a messaging platform. Mailbox data is received specifying a projected maximum number of mailboxes. Growth assumption data is received that specifies a change in average message size of messages. Traffic assumption data is received that identifies a portion of message traffic projected to occur during any recurring time interval for which message traffic has previously exceeded a threshold. Baseline data is received specifying maximum performance capabilities of the messaging platform. Messaging platform data is received specifying a quantity of messages accepted, stored, deleted, and/or retrieved. A planning recommendation is generated by applying an algorithm to the mailbox data, traffic and growth assumption data, baseline data, and messaging platform data. The planning recommendation is placed into a physically tangible, humanly discernible form by printing the recommendation, displaying the recommendation, or outputting the recommendation in audible form.
