摘要： In a method for managing a facility that is to receive resources from a first resource supply, a supply of resources available from the first resource supply is predicted for a predetermined period of time. In addition, a demand for resources in the facility during the predetermined period of time is predicted. A capacity schedule for the facility is planned to meet a predefined operational goal, in which the plan of the capacity schedule uses as inputs, the predicted supply of resources available from the first resource supply and the predicted demand for resources in the facility during the predetermined period of time. Moreover, a determination as to whether the planned capacity schedule meets the predefined operational goal is made.

摘要： An embodiment includes gathering input data including observed utilizations of allocations and business service response times. The input data is partitioned into a plurality of data sets that include at least one training data set and at least one test data set. A model is generated that predicts responsiveness using the at least one training data set. The model is evaluated using the at least one test data set, and a business service response time distribution is predicted using the model. An embodiment may use a trace-based capacity planning methodology to estimate the impact of planning alternatives on business service responsiveness.
