Abstract
A method and system for computing a performance forecast for an e-business system or other computer architecture to proactively manage the system to prevent system failure or slow response time. The system is adapted to obtain measured input values from a plurality of internal data sources and external data sources to predict a system's performance especially under unpredictable and dramatically changing traffic levels in an effort to proactively manage the system to avert system malfunction or slowdown. The performance forecasting system can include both intrinsic and extrinsic variables as predictive inputs. Intrinsic variables include measurements of the systems own performance, such as component activity levels and system response time. Extrinsic variables include other factors, such as the time and date, whether an advertising campaign is underway, and other demographic factors that may effect or coincide with increased network traffic.
