Fast Launch Based on Hibernated Pre-launch Sessions

A method comprising:

• receiving, by a controller, a number of pre-launch sessions needed at a first time;
• comparing, by the controller, the number of pre-launch sessions needed at the first time to a number of pre-launch sessions needed at a second time;
• determining, by the controller, that the number of pre-launch sessions needed at the second time exceeds the number of pre-launch sessions needed at the first time;
• and
• hibernating, by the controller, a portion of the number of pre-launch sessions needed at the second time.

A method comprising:

• receiving, by a prediction model, input data indicating at least one date and at least one time for which a prediction of a number of pre-launch sessions is needed;
• comparing, by the prediction model, the input data to data indicating a number of pre-launch sessions that were previously predicted for use and to data indicating a number of pre-launch sessions that were previously used;
• and
• based on the comparing, predicting the number of pre-launch sessions that are needed on a date and at a time indicated in the input data.
