SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR INTEGRATING CAPACITY PLANNING AND WORKLOAD MANAGEMENT
First Claim
1. A system for integrating resource capacity planning and workload management, the system implemented as programming on a suitable computing device, comprising:
- a simulation module that receives data related to execution of the workloads, resource types, numbers, and capacities, and generates one or more possible resource configuration optionsa modeling module that receives the resource configuration options and determines, based on one or more specified criteria, one or more projected resource allocations among the workloads; and
a communications module that receives the projected resource allocations and presents the projected resource allocations for review by a user.

Abstract
A system for integrating resource capacity planning and workload management, implemented as programming on a suitable computing device, includes a simulation module that receives data related to execution of the workloads, resource types, numbers, and capacities, and generates one or more possible resource configuration options; a modeling module that receives the resource configuration options and determines, based on one or more specified criteria, one or more projected resource allocations among the workloads; and a communications module that receives the projected resource allocations and presents the projected resource allocations for review by a user.

8. A method, implemented on a suitably programmed computing device, for integrating capacity planning and workload management comprising:
-
receiving one or more of historical data and simulated data related to usage of resources by executing workloads; computing possible resource demand configurations based on the received historical data and simulated data; sending the resource demand configurations to a workload management system determining, at the workload management system, resource allocation options; and sending the resource allocation options to a capacity planning system for display to a user. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12)

13. An architecture, implemented on a suitably programmed device, for integrating capacity planning functions and workload management functions in a computing system, the architecture, comprising:
-
means for receiving data related to execution of the workloads, resource types, numbers, and capacities; means for generating one or more possible resource configuration options based on the received data; means for modeling resource configuration options including determining, based on one or more specified criteria, one or more projected resource allocations among the workloads, and means for communicating the projected resource allocations to a user. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
