SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR IDENTIFYING LATENT COMPUTER SYSTEM BOTTLENECKS AND FOR MAKING RECOMMENDATIONS FOR IMPROVING COMPUTER SYSTEM PERFORMANCE

A system and method of monitoring and analyzing the performance of a server and its components in a data processing network and for proposing changes to the network to improve the performance. The system involves identifying bottlenecks in the system, determining which bottlenecks are the most severe in affecting the performance of the system and in proposing changes to the components of the system to improve performance of the network. Identification of latent bottlenecks caused by fixing other bottlenecks and creating a more efficient system is a part of the present invention, using a second, lower threshold for identifying latent bottleneck when a realized bottleneck has also been identified in a system.
