WORKLOAD MANAGEMENT FOR LICENSE COST OPTIMIZATION

摘要

A workload change evaluator may receive workload metrics characterizing a plurality of workloads executed within a license environment during a license period, and cost metrics characterizing license costs incurred by license environment during the license period. A baseline model generator may generate a baseline model providing a time-based contribution of each of the plurality of workloads to the license cost during the license period. A cost estimator may receive a potential workload change, and may estimate a license cost change caused by the potential workload change, based on the baseline model.

1. A system including instructions stored on a non-transitory computer readable storage medium and executable by at least one processor, the system comprising:
a workload change evaluator configured to cause the at least one processor to receive workload metrics characterizing a plurality of workloads executed within a license environment during a license period, and further configured to cause the at least one processor to receive cost metrics characterizing license costs incurred by license environment during the license period; and a baseline model generator configured to cause the at least one processor to generate a baseline model providing a time-based contribution of each of the plurality of workloads to the license cost during the license period.
