Abstract:

A cloud estimator tool can be configured to analyze a server configuration profile that characterizes hardware parameters for a node of a potential cloud computing environment and a load profile that characterizes computing load parameters for the potential cloud computing environment to generate a cloud computing configuration for the potential cloud computing environment. The cloud estimator tool determines a performance estimate and a cost estimate for the cloud computing configuration based on the hardware parameters and the computing load parameters characterized in the server configuration profile and the load profile.
