Abstract

This paper describes the results of a simulation analysis of hardware designs for a proposed data delivery system. The system is to serve clients of a large accounting firm. Once the required hardware components were identified, and their system parameters and response times estimated, the design of such a system required selection of components in a way to optimize specific performance characteristics. Simulation was used to understand the performance of the system, and to help with decisions on the components to be used.
