Abstract
Analyzing one or more physical infrastructure elements of a data center by generating a plurality of outputs from a stochastic process for a set of inputs to the stochastic process. The inputs comprise one or more inputs of certainty and one or more inputs of uncertainty. A statistical output analysis of the outputs is utilized to generate one or more threshold reaching projections for each of the physical infrastructure elements of the data center.
Claims20
A method for analyzing one or more physical infrastructure elements of a data center, said method performed by execution of computer-readable program code by at least one processor of at least one computer system, said method comprising:
