Systems and methods for state management of networked systems

A computer-implemented method for facilitating state determination of a networked system, comprising:

• obtaining system data corresponding to a system component that resides on a first networked system and a system component that resides on a second networked system, the first and second networked systems do not share a direct communication link, the system data contains at least information regarding utilization of system resources pertaining to the first and second networked systems;
• aggregating, according to predetermined rules, at least a portion of the system data corresponding to at least a subset of the system components;
• analyzing at least a portion of the aggregated system data based on a user control parameter to extract information specified by a system user from the aggregated data;
• employing the extracted information to generate an output corresponding to respective states of the subset of the system components, the output comprising data trends obtained by data mining information pertaining to the respective states of the system components;
• utilizing the output to provide an automatic software update to at least one system component to mitigate a detected error state;
• and
• masking alerts associated with the error state when a software update is not available.

A system embodied on a computer-readable storage medium that facilitates determining a state of a networked system, comprising:

• means for obtaining system data corresponding to at least a subset of a plurality of system components that reside on a first networked system and a second networked system, the system data contains at least information regarding utilization of system resources;
• means for aggregating at least a portion of the obtained data, the aggregated data filtered with a user control parameter specified by a system user;
• means for analyzing at least a subset of the filtered data to generate an output corresponding to respective states of the subset of system components of the first networked system and the second networked system;
• means for prioritizing utilization of at least one resource on the first or second networked system;
• and
• means for automatically curtailing utilization of a resource by a first user of the networked system when a second user with a higher utilization priority requires the same resource.
