AUTOMATED CAPACITY PROVISIONING METHOD USING HISTORICAL PERFORMANCE DATA

摘要

The method may include collecting performance data relating to processing nodes of a computer system which provide services via one or more applications, analyzing the performance data to generate an operational profile characterizing resource usage of the processing nodes, receiving a set of attributes characterizing expected performance goals in which the services are expected to be provided, and generating at least one provisioning policy based on an analysis of the operational profile in conjunction with the set of attributes. The at least one provisioning policy may specify a condition for re-allocating resources associated with at least one processing node in a manner that satisfies the performance goals of the set of attributes. The method may further include re-allocating, during runtime, the resources associated with the at least one processing node when the condition of the at least one provisioning policy is determined as satisfied.

1. A method for automatically allocating resources in a computer system, comprising:
collecting performance data relating to processing nodes of a computer system which provide services via one or more applications; analyzing the performance data to generate an operational profile characterizing resource usage of the processing nodes over at least one time period; receiving a set of attributes characterizing expected performance goals in which the services are expected to be provided between a provider and a consumer; generating at least one provisioning policy based on an analysis of the operational profile in conjunction with the set of attributes, the at least one provisioning policy specifying a condition for re-allocating resources associated with at least one processing node in a manner that satisfies the performance goals of the set of attributes; and re-allocating, during runtime, the resources associated with the at least one processing node when the condition of the at least one provisioning policy is determined as satisfied.
