Capacity and Workload Management in Cloud Computing

PREDATOR stands for Performance Rules Engine for Data Analytics and Triggered Operational Responses
- A dynamic capacity and workload management tool for multi-layered cloud environments

One of the creative and innovative cloud computing solutions we have created for one of our clients in the cloud computing space.

Business drivers behind the effort:
- Reduce cloud administration costs via automation
- Increase infrastructure utilization
- Implement efficient cloud self service services
- Eliminate virtualization sprawl
- Facilitate multi-layer right-sizing
- Monitor and track realtime/historical availability of cloud assets

Three things to accomplish these goals:
- Sense the cloud infrastructure in real-ime
- Evaluate and reason over the gathered metrics and compare them to the capacity of the cloud assets in real time to make logical decisions
- Interact with the specific virtualization technologies at all layers of the infrastructure to make changes to best utilize the cloud assets, meet business partner SLAs and provide the most cost effective solution
