Patent ID: 7099816

Claim:
A method for performing analytic modeling on a computer system by handling a plurality of predefined system criteria directed to a modeled computer system, said method comprising the steps of: (a) enabling one or more predefined system criteria from said plurality of predefined system criteria; (b) establishing a maximum allowed value for each of said enabled predefined system criteria; (c) initializing a plurality of variables used in mean value analysis calculations for said analytic modeling; (d) calculating a value for each of said enabled predefined system criteria utilizing said plurality of variables; (e) comparing each of said calculated values to their corresponding said maximum allowed value; and (f) if none of said calculated values have exceeded their corresponding said maximum allowed value, saving said calculated values; adjusting said plurality of variables and repeating steps (d) and (e) until at least one of said one or more enabled predefined system criteria has exceeded its maximum allowed value.
