The Practical Performance Analyst: Performance-By-Design Techniques for Distributed Systems (McGraw-Hill Series on Computer Communications) by Gunther, Neil J.. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780079129468.

The complex mathematical formulas upon which performace analysis is based have made it inaccessible to many. Here is the first book to explain both theory and practical applications in an intuitive way for computer professionals, especially those working large distributed systems. It shows how to apply performance analysis to all kinds of large-scale computer systems, including client/server, data communications, and telecommunications systems, to achieve high performance. The accompanying disk includes a queuing analysis tool.
