Docendo Discimus

Welcome to the Linux Capacity Planning community! This is a community site dedicated to the science and art of capacity planning for Linux servers and clients. If you're at all interested in the performance aspects of your software and hardware -- usability, scalability, responsiveness, cost/performance tradeoffs -- this is the place for you.

This site is dedicated to the authors and teachers who imparted this wisdom to me over the years, among them Ed Lazowska et. al., Daniel Menasce et. al., and Dr. Neil J. Gunther. And it's dedicated to the creators of world-class open source platforms -- Linux/GNU, Apache, MySQL/PostgreSQL, PHP/Perl/Python/Ruby.

And of course it's dedicated to the creators of the many open-source performance and capacity planning tools, such as the OSDL database test suite, RRDTOOL, bonnie++, iozone, netperf, siege and many more.

Please feel free to contact me at znmeb@borasky-research.net with comments, questions, etc.
