INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY RESOURCE MANAGEMENT

摘要

Embodiments relate to information technology resource management and scaling. According to one aspect, an upcoming event impacting an application operating on one or more resources is identified. A workload on the application is predicted based on the upcoming event identified and historical data about a previous event having similarity with the upcoming event. The prediction is performed using a predefined rule. A number of resources required to process the predicted workload is ascertained using a past scaling history of the application. The resources are scaled based on the ascertained number of said resources determined before the occurrence of the event.
