Remediating gaps between usage allocation of hardware resource and capacity allocation of hardware resource
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- determining, by a processor, a usage allocation of a hardware resource to each workload of a plurality of workloads over time, using a demand model, the usage allocation of the hardware resource including a current and past actual usage allocation of the hardware resource, a future projected usage allocation of the hardware resource, and a current and past actual usage of the hardware resource as monitored;
determining, by the processor, a capacity allocation of the hardware resource, using a capacity model, the capacity allocation of the hardware resource including a current and past capacity of the hardware resource and a future projected capacity of the hardware resource;
determining, by the processor, whether a gap exists between the usage allocation of the hardware resource and the capacity allocation of the hardware resource, using a mapping model; and
,in response to determining that the gap exists between the usage allocation of the hardware resource and the capacity allocation of the hardware resource, presenting a user with one or more options determined by the processor using the mapping model and selectable by the user to implement a remediation strategy to close the gap.

Abstract
A usage allocation of a hardware resource to each of a number of workloads over time is determined using a demand model. The usage allocation of the resource includes a current and past actual usage allocation of the resource, a future projected usage allocation of the resource, and current and past actual usage of the resource. A capacity allocation of the resource is determined using a capacity model. The capacity allocation of the resource includes a current and past capacity and a future projected capacity of the resource. Whether a gap exists between the usage allocation and the capacity allocation is determined using a mapping model. Where the gap exists between the usage allocation of the resource and the capacity allocation of the resource, a user is presented with options determined using the mapping model and selectable by the user to implement a remediation strategy to close the gap.
