Method and apparatus for communicating predicted future network requirements of a data center to a number of adaptive network interfaces

摘要

In one embodiment, machine-readable media has stored thereon sequences of instructions that, when executed by a number of machines, cause the machine(s) to monitor behavior of a data center; acquire network utilization data; correlate the network utilization data with the data center behavior; store results of the correlations as trend data; utilize the data center behavior and trend data to predict future network requirements of the data center; and communicate the predicted future network requirements to a number of adaptive network interfaces.
