ABSTRACT
To evaluate the proposed system environment, the company devised and conducted a benchmark test to emulate its anticipated workload. This proof-of-concept benchmark demonstrated that the architecture could indeed handle the requisite load within acceptable performance parameters. The company could confidently install the new system without compromising customer service or incurring unexpected expenditures. By incorporating performance engineering at an early stage of the decision and design process, the company achieved its goals with minimal disruption and maximum economy.
