The invention discloses an enterprise gateway load prediction method based on operation load characteristics. The method comprises steps that (1), the sample data required for load prediction is acquired; (2), the influence factor information required for load prediction is acquired; (3), load characteristic analysis on an operation load is carried out, and prediction operation loads are divided on the basis of types according to a result; (4), prediction model matching is carried out, and sample set selection is carried out; (5), whether the model and the sample both have prediction conditions is determined, if yes, gateway component load prediction is carried out, prediction error statistics is further carried out, and component prediction results are corrected continuously according to prediction errors; and (6), all the operation component prediction results are superposed, whether the set conditions are satisfied is determined, if yes, the final gateway prediction result is outputted. The method is advantaged in that the final enterprises gateway load prediction result is acquired, taking consideration of load characteristics of each enterprise operation and load change trend, enterprise load prediction precision can be effectively improved.
