An analytic model of a file server is presented. The file server was an experimental system designed to provide an environment for storage and retrieval of bulk files. The file server was envisaged to be accessed by single-user workstations, equipped with limited secondary storage, via a local area network. The analytic model is a hierarchical model involving an open/closed queueing network of the BCMP type and an open queueing network with blocking. These two models were combined together through the means of an iterative scheme. The results obtained from the analytic model were in close agreement with simulation data.
