I thought for sure that the "find out how here" would reference Yahoo's open source contribution of a platform benchmarking system .... but its worse. "To ensure quality of the environment you must always validate your clustered environment and prove out the increased scalability." Actually folks, the first thing you have to do is validate your validation scenario ... on the existing system. And preferably one step the opposite direction also. Note that the steps put forward are appropriate for nothing more than a validation test. They fall far short of gathering the information necessary for architects, system engineers and dev experts to identify opportunities and rabbit holes with respect to moving not just up the hardware ladder, but planning next revisions of software systems. The purpose being to leverage knowledge about the domain, rather than blindly accept a singular validation step. There is for example, no reference to industry applications of queueing theory which markedly track accuracy with capacity planning in distributed or cluster environments. |
