Abstract
A system for capacity forecasting for backup storage comprises a processor and a memory. The processor is configured to calculate a set of statistical analyses for subsets of a set of capacities at points in time. The processor is further configured to determine a selected statistical analysis from the set of statistical analyses. The processor is further configured to forecast a full capacity time based at least in part of the selected statistical analysis. The memory is coupled to the processor and configured to provide the processor with instructions.
Claims20
A system for capacity forecasting, comprising:
- a processor configured to:
- calculate a set of statistical analyses for subsets of a set of capacities at points in time;
- determine a selected statistical analysis from the set of statistical analyses;
- and
- forecast a full capacity time based at least in part on the selected statistical analysis;
- and;
- a memory coupled to the processor and configured to provide the processor with instructions.
A method for capacity forecasting comprising:
- calculating, using a processor, a set of statistical analyses for subsets of a set of capacities at points in time;
- determining a selected statistical analysis from the set of statistical analysis;
- and
- forecasting a full capacity time based at least in part on the selected statistical analysis.
A computer program product for capacity forecasting, the computer program product being embedded in a non-transitory computer readable storage medium and comprising computer instructions for:
- calculating, using a processor, a set of statistical analyses for subsets of a set of capacities at points in time;
- determining a selected statistical analysis from the set of statistical analysis;
- and
- forecasting a full capacity time based at least in part on the selected statistical analysis.
