Abstract
A performance management system and method for generating a plurality of forecasts for one or more electronic devices is presented. The forecasts are generated from stored performance data and analyzed to determine which devices are likely to experience performance degradation within a predetermined period of time. A single forecast is extracted for further analysis such that computer modeling may be performed upon the performance data to enable the user to predict when device performance will begin to degrade. In one embodiment, graphical displays are created for those devices forecasted to perform at an undesirable level such that suspect devices may be subjected to further analysis.
Claims18
A method of managing a group of electronic devices, the method comprising:
- providing a processor for:
- receiving historic resource utilization data from the group of electronic devices, wherein the group of electronic devices comprises a group of servers;
- identifying irrelevant data for each of the electronic devices from the received historic resource utilization data, wherein data is identified to be irrelevant when a probability of model significance pertaining to the associated server is less than a predetermined threshold;
- removing irrelevant data from the historical resource utilization data prior to analyzing the historical resource utilization data;
- and
- analyzing the remaining data.
A computer-readable medium having computer-readable instructions executable by a processor, the computer-readable instructions comprising instructions for:
- receiving historic resource utilization data from the group of electronic devices, wherein the group of electronic devices comprises a group of servers;
- identifying irrelevant data for each of the electronic devices from the received historic resource utilization data, wherein data is identified to be irrelevant when a probability of model significance pertaining to the associated server is less than a predetermined threshold;
- removing irrelevant data from the historical resource utilization data prior to analyzing the historical resource utilization data;
- and
- analyzing the remaining data.
A system comprising a processor for:
- receiving historic resource utilization data from the group of electronic devices, wherein the group of electronic devices comprises a group of servers;
- identifying irrelevant data for each of the electronic devices from the received historic resource utilization data, wherein data is identified to be irrelevant when a probability of model significance pertaining to the associated server is less than a predetermined threshold;
- removing irrelevant data from the historical resource utilization data prior to analyzing the historical resource utilization data;
- and
- analyzing the remaining data.
