The main objectives of the study are to simulate the software operation on the server layer of the information system and to assess the adequacy of the model obtained. The software simulation is the initial stage in the study of the server layer stability to loads in the form of an intense flow of client requests. The software is implemented using a service-oriented approach to architecture design. The software functioning is shown on the example of a discrete event simulation model. The results of processing statistical data on requests received for processing in real software were used as input parameters of the model. Analysis of simulation results and statistical data on the real software operation made it possible to assess the quality of the simulation.
