Workload Behavior Modeling and Prediction for Data Center Adaptation

A method comprising:

• monitoring, at a processor circuit communicatively coupled to a data center, the data center to collect operating information of the data center;
• building one or more models to represent behavior of the data center while the data center supports at least one workload based on the collected operating information;
• predicting behavior of the data center to support a first workload based on different operating scenarios that includes inputting different operating or configuration parameters in the one or more models;
• and
• indicating results of predicted behavior to facilitate resource allocation and scheduling for the first workload.

At least one machine readable medium comprising a plurality of instructions that in response to being executed by a system causes the system to:

• monitor a data center to collect operating information of the data center;
• build one or more models to represent behavior of the data center while the data center supports at least one workload based on the collected operating information;
• predict behavior of the data center to support a first workload based on different operating scenarios that includes inputting different operating or configuration parameters in the one or more models;
• and
• indicate results of predicted behavior to facilitate resource allocation and scheduling for the first workload.
