In my experience, once one has an understanding of the performance
envelopes and has built a lab which contains examples of the
functional elements of the system (network infrastructure, servers,
apps, databases, clients, et. al.), one can extrapolate pretty
accurately well out to orders of magnitude.
The problem is that many organizations don't do the above prior to
freezing the design and initiating deployment.
