Apparatus and methods of analyzing status of computing servers

A method, comprising:

• communicatively coupling a processing circuit with a plurality of servers via a network and causing the processing circuit to:
• for an authorized end-user of an account associated with subscription services for use of a subset of servers among the plurality of servers and through the subscription services, permit the authorized end-user to automatically provision and/or deploy certain virtual resources for the account, wherein the certain virtual resources include at least one redundant virtual file server being part of the subset of servers and include at least one of a virtual load balancer and a firewall between a network and virtual data center which is associated with the account;
• for each server of the subset of servers,
• retrieve operating state data and data which indicates the plurality of servers operating responsively but exceeding a proper operation threshold;
• for a plurality of time periods, and based on the retrieved operating state data, determining an operating state of each of the plurality of servers, the determined operating state including a warning state;
• and
• providing, via an interface circuit:
• a graphical user interface to, for each server of the subset of servers, display a timeline having a graphical indication corresponding to the determined operating state of said each server of the subset at a corresponding time period;
• and
• in response to selection by the authorized user, display a plurality of timelines, each timeline having at least one graphical marker in portions of a display area and being time-aligned with another server of the subset of servers.
