Results from classic queueing theory are shown to be useful for capacity planning of largescale multi-server systems. In the field of mainframe systems on-line monitoring and dynamic workload management care for the fulfilment of short-term performance goals with respect to service class...

Capacity planning for large-scale systems like mainframe installations is typically based on rather coarse historical workload data. Hence, it is advisable to employ techniques and tools that use the same macroscopic (high-level) view of the overall system. We follow the classic approach known...
