Capacity planning and performance

The information in this guide is intended to support your capacity planning for the initial implementation, as well as the ongoing monitoring to help you address your changing capacity requirements. Capacity planning will not provide precise sizing details. Any estimates derived from capacity planning activities must be re-evaluated in your implementation and infrastructure setup, and performing load tests with a representative set of data flows.

Based on the detailed results from a number of performance and load tests, which were executed with various infrastructure and product configurations, this document provides results for specific test cases executed in a defined context. In conjunction with your own requirements, you can extrapolate the test results to arrive at a sizing estimation that meets your needs.

The intended audience for this guide is systems engineers and operators who are interested in the performance of Streams under different use cases.
