System and method for integrating capacity planning and workload management
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A system comprising:
- a processor; and
a computer readable storage medium having encoded thereon a program of instructions for integrating resource capacity planning and workload management, that when executed by the processor, causes the processor to;
access a simulation module to receive simulation data related to execution of the workloads, resource types, numbers, and capacities, the resource types including full usage rights resources and limited usage rights resources, wherein full usage rights resources are those for which the computer system has full rights, wherein limited usage rights resources are instant capacity resources and temporary instant capacity resources, and generate one or more possible resource configuration options;
access a modeling module to receive the resource configuration options and determine, based on one or more specified criteria, one or more projected resource allocations among the workloads; and
access a communications module to receive the projected resource allocations and present 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.

7. A method, implemented on a suitably programmed computing device, for integrating capacity planning and workload management, comprising:
-
receiving simulated data related to usage of resources, the resource including full usage rights resources and limited usage rights resources, wherein full usage rights resources are those for which the computing device has full rights, wherein limited usage rights resources are instant capacity resources and temporary instant capacity resources, by executing workloads; computing possible resource demand configurations based on the received 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 (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 15)

13. A system for integrating capacity planning functions and workload management functions in a computing system, the architecture, comprising:
-
a processor; and a computer readable storage medium having encoded thereon an architecture comprising a program of instructions that when executed by the processor, cause the processor to; receive simulation data related to execution of the workloads, resource types, numbers, and capacities, the resource types including full usage rights resources and limited usage rights resources, wherein full usage rights resources are those for which the computing system has full rights, wherein limited usage rights resources are instant capacity resources and temporary instant capacity resources; generate one or more possible resource configuration options based on the received data; model resource configuration options including determining, based on one or more specified criteria, one or more projected resource allocations among the workloads; and communicate the projected resource allocations to a user. - View Dependent Claims (14, 16, 17, 18)
