1. A method for managing the performance of an on-demand, shared computing system, at the system and subsystem level, the method comprising:

  • managing the performance of the on-demand, shared computing system by a computer having at least one processor executing programming instructions to perform steps comprising;

    monitoring a plurality of performance data;

    analyzing the plurality of performance data to identify a performance trend;

    identifying an approaching performance degradation in the performance trend;

    identifying a component of the on-demand, shared computing system that the approaching performance degradation impacts;

    identifying a performance parameter of the on-demand, shared computing system that impacts the component;

    determining if a system limitation constrains an adjustment of the performance parameter;

    responsive to determining that the system limitation does not constrain the adjustment of the performance parameter, comparing the performance trend with a hypothetical optimum performance trend to identify a correct adjustment to the performance parameter needed to return the component to acceptable performance;

    creating a recommendation indicating the correct adjustment to the performance parameter, and forwarding the recommendation to an appropriate party;

    responsive to receiving approval of the recommendation from the appropriate party, implementing the recommendation to resolve the approaching performance degradation; and

    responsive to determining that the system limitation does constrain the adjustment of the performance parameter, communicating the system limitation to the appropriate party, and opening a change request to resolve the limitation.
