Conclusion

The Indy system is just one example of an advanced performance-modeling tool. The toolkit approach, in which users can rely on an included library of hardware and network models, expands Indy s usability to include non-experts in the area of performance modeling. At the same time, the power of TML to infinitely customize objects related to one s own code and hardware makes Indy a valuable tool for very advanced software performance engineers.

In any engineering effort, the ability to predict success with certainty reduces the bottom line for both time and money, and improves the confidence of system architects and business managers alike. Using the principles discussed in this book, you should now be able to think about your own development and production processes with an eye toward how you can increase performance through careful consideration, rather than simply through trial and error.
