Using run time and historical customer profiling and analytics to determine customer disaster recovery vs. production differences, and to enhance customer disaster recovery readiness and effectiveness

A computer-implemented method comprising:

• setting, by a processor, one or more characteristics related to customer production;
• collecting, by the processor, customer production data;
• modeling, by the processor, a customer disaster recovery workload in relation to a corresponding customer production workload;
• collecting, by the processor, customer disaster recovery data;
• comparing, by the processor, the customer disaster recovery data to the customer production data;
• determining, by the processor, that at least one difference exists between the customer disaster recovery data and the customer production data;
• and
• determining, by the processor, from the at least one difference between the customer disaster recovery data and the customer production data, one or more ineffective customer disaster recovery resources and updating, by the processor, the one or more ineffective customer disaster recovery resources;
• and
• creating, by the processor, additional data points related to one or both of customer production data and customer disaster recovery data by selecting one or more existing workload data points for input into one or more statistical formulas which determine the additional data points.
