Abstract
A system (and associated method) includes a processor which determines a performance metric ratio of a performance metric of a second type of server relative to a performance metric of a first server type for each of multiple sizes of multiple benchmark datasets to thereby determine a plurality of performance metric ratio values. The processor also determines an interpolation function for the plurality of performance metric ratio values usable to compute interpolation performance metric ratios of the second type of server relative to the first type of server for dataset sizes other than the first plurality of sizes. Given a second dataset, the processor determines an amount of the second dataset to provide to each of the respective server types using the interpolation function. The processor configures a load balancer based on the amount of the second dataset determined for each type of server.
