Not that I know of, do you have an existing test system you can use as a baseline ?
For memory have a read of the JVM Heap Size section here http://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/MemtableThresholds
You will also want to have some memory for disk caching and the os. 8 or 12gb feels like a good start.
For disk capacity I just did some regular old guess work, and multipled my number by 1.25 to
cover the on disk overhead. You also want to avoid using more than 50% of the local disk space, due to
compaction and the way the disk performance falls away. There is more info available here
How much throughout do you need? How much redundancy do you need? How much data do you
plan to store?
Hope that helps

Hi,
We are implementing a 'middlewear' layer to an underneath storage and
need to estimate costs for various system configurations.
Specifically, I want to estimate the resources (memory, disk) for our
data model.Is there a tool that given certain storage configuration parameters,
column family fields number and sizes and other details, and then
workload-dependant parameters such as read/write average rates etc. can predict the
resource consumption (i.e, memory, disk) in an offline mode?Thanks,
Miriam
