Abstract

This paper aims at exploring the effects of performance tuning on concerns such as reliability and uptime with respect to the three current architectures: cloud, on-premise, and hybrid models. This paper shows that performance tuning does enhance system stability and availability based on comparative data on CPU load, memory consumption, disk I/O operations, network delays, application response time, and system failure rates. Employing both quantitative and qualitative data, the study compares features taken from real-world system logs and information obtained from expert interviews indicating that tuning brings about balanced resource distribution as well as ensures faster data processing free from system constraints. The results presented prove that performance tuning positively affects the availability of the system and lowers the failure rates significantly after tuning. This work underscores the need for pre-emptive approach to performance calibration as a means of guaranteeing the systems availabilities and reliability where systems integration is complex and distributed across several nodes. The conclusions help those organizations striving for improvements of the systems in their concern areas for better performances and less failures in a world where competition and operations demands are growing.
