About this title

Synopsis

Assuming there is very little time or expertise available for the task, systems engineer Cockcroft and information technology architect Walker provide detailed recipes for performing capacity planning tasks for high-growth-rate Internet services. They assume no previous background in capacity planning, and avoid the detailed mathematics of queueing theory as much as possible. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
