AUTOMATIC DATA INTERPRETATION AND IMPLEMENTATION USING PERFORMANCE CAPACITY MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORK OVER MANY SERVERS

摘要

An automated method of managing computing resources having a workload of a given type comprises providing resource data collectors (110) for collecting data regarding performance of the resources, such as a server network, in accordance with the type of workload; developing a forecast (180) of utilization of the resources, based on historical performance data; and collecing real-time performance data (140) regarding the resources running under the workload. The method then includes analyzing the performance data and the forecast (190) to identify a critical resource (210) and automatically adjusting (250) a capacity of the resource to provide (270) steady-state performance of the resource under the workload. Additional hardware resources (40, 42, 60) such as CPUs, computer memory and computer disk storage are initially available to, but unused by, the computing resources.
