Prognosys - Specialist in Performance Prediction, Capacity Planning and Optimization

Predictive Modelling will provide the followings:
	Create an end-to-end Virtual environment of your IT Infrastructure
	Analyze the impact of changing user load patterns
	Assess the impact of changing your Infrastructure and Application Architecture, without making any changes to your IT Environment
And all this – before you invest on any IT Infrastructure components

Predictive Modelling - Lets Crystal Gaze!!!

Predictive modelling will cerate a virtual environment of your infrastructure. The virtual environment can be used to predict end user response time and analyse ‘what if’ scenarios.

Performance Prediction capability is a useful tool for IS Managers to assure appropriate service levels, align IT expenditures and initiatives with business imperatives; while they extract most of their IT budgets. Capacity Planning as defined by ITIL processes has Performance Modeling at it’s core

You can analyze ‘what-if’ scenarios for the following factors

	Change in the number of users
	Change in the transaction mix

	Change in infrastructure architecture
	Change in the server configurations

You can predict the affect of these changes before investing in hardware. You can analyze the impact of consolidation, addition of hardware, upgrade of network bandwidth in this virtual environment of yours. You can rightly size your infrastructure to meet the service level agreement.

A Predictive Model will enable you to understand the complex infrastructure and predict its behavior alike. A Performance Model accurately mimics your environment and lets you predict the impact of changing usage patterns and infrastructure parameters.

There are various off-the-shelf tools available in the market place, but they all come with a heavy price-tag, and need additional effort for deployment, customization, configuration and data collection for using those tools. This Prognosys service offers a Predictive Model of your application where we take care of everything from the data collection to delivering the model.

To top it all; Predictive Model – unlike most off-the-shelf tools; builds a Model aligned to the business functions. Different business transactions are identified and treated separately, while most tools treat applications at the process level.

This is based on Simulation Modeling techniques or analytical techniques whichever suitable for developing a Performance Model of your infrastructure. Simulation Modeling is understood to be the most accurate and flexible technique for building Performance Models.

Simulation is powered by CSIM 19, the simulation software Library from Mesquite Software. CSIM is widely used as a preferred Simulation and Modelling library. For the past 20 years CSIM has been widely used as a modelling library by universities and corporations throughout the world.

Prognosys Labs collects datapoints about your application infrastructure using remotely managed agents that would sit on your servers. Out Flat World Delivery model helps you achieve the maximum value out of your investments.

Mode of Delivery

Prognosys Labs provides the following options for the Mode of Delivery of Prognosys Predict

Web based delivery – using this mode, the model will be delivered over our website and can be executed from here. With this mode of delivery, you can access your model 24 X 7, and save computation power to generate the reports.
CD based delivery – the model would be delivered to you on a CD. Using this mode, you get the flexibility of executing the model offline, on any Windows based desktop.
