Cohort Cost Analysis and Workload Migration

摘要

An approach is provided to analyze data center performance. The approach includes analyzing the data centers, with each of the data centers are represented by a plurality of data center records. Available capacity at each of the data centers is identified based on the selected data center's set of data center records. In addition, a current workload currently being performed by each of the data centers is identified. The approach compares the identified current workload of each data center with the identified available capacity at the other data centers. Data centers are added to a consolidation consideration list in response to the comparisons. The consolidation consideration list is further analyzed to select data centers for consolidation or elimination.
