Global automated data center expansion

A method, comprising:

• determining, by a system comprising at least one processor, timeseries telemetry data of resource utilization of respective data centers of a group of data centers;
• predicting, by the system, respective hardware requests at the respective data centers based on future resource utilization based on the timeseries telemetry data;
• predicting, by the system, respective future times at which the respective hardware requests will occur;
• and
• determining, by the system, respective physical location sources of hardware that are able to be physically moved to respective physical location destinations of the hardware, the respective physical location destinations of hardware to which the hardware is able to be physically moved, and respective amounts of the hardware based on the respective hardware requests and the respective future times.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions that, in response to execution, cause a system comprising at least one processor to perform operations, comprising:

• determining resource utilization data for respective data centers of a group of data centers;
• predicting respective hardware needs at the respective data centers based on future resource utilization based on the resource utilization data;
• predicting respective future times at which the respective hardware needs will occur based on the resource utilization data;
• and
• determining respective physical location sources of hardware that are able to be physically moved to respective physical location destinations of the hardware, the respective physical location destinations of hardware to which the hardware is able to be physically moved, and respective amounts of the hardware based on the respective hardware needs and the respective future times.
