ABSTRACT:
According to at least one embodiment, a method comprises receiving, into a capacity planning system, workload information representing an expected workload of client accesses of streaming media files from a site. The method further comprises receiving, into the capacity planning system, at least one service parameter that defines a desired service characteristic to be provided by a heterogeneous cluster of servers under the expected workload. The capacity planning system evaluates whether the heterogeneous cluster, having a plurality of different server configurations included therein, is capable of supporting the expecting workload in compliance with the at least one service parameter.
