Modeling and Capacity Planning

Using network analysis probes and other robust tools, SAIC collects activity data to measure network traffic. This monitoring provides detailed information on network dataflow, capacity, and utilization. SAIC analysis then pinpoints any weaknesses or problem areas, identifies underlying causes, and proposes specific solutions to incorporate new applications and services.

Modeling and Capacity Planning is very useful for determining the day-to-day performance of the network as well as predicting future performance with new architectures and applications. Beginning at the network design phase, SAIC applies modeling disciplines throughout a project life cycle focusing on potential bottlenecks and areas of high resource contention. This approach results in a more intelligent system design with superior system performance.

Use Modeling and Capacity Planning to:

• Provide forecasting tools to assist in traffic analysis and network planning
• Forecast when infrastructure will require upgrades
• Provides trend analysis
• Spot performance issues before an outage occurs.
