An architecture analyzer for managing a distributed system includes persistent storage and an entity identifier. The persistent storage stores a profile repository. The entity identifier obtains entity characteristics associated with an entity. The entity identifier performs an entity analysis of the entity characteristics using the profile repository to predict at least one candidate device type for the entity. The entity identifier remediates the entity based on the at least one candidate device type for the entity.

System and method for management of distributed systems

A method includes selecting a given workload associated with at least one application type, and analyzing the given workload to determine a set of functional patterns describing resource structures for implementing functionality of the at least one application type. The method also includes determining resource consumption demand profiles for each of the set of functional patterns and determining micro workload distributions for each of the resource consumption demand profiles, a given one of the micro workload distributions comprising a number of micro workloads, each micro workload comprising a normalized unit of resource consumption metrics. The method further includes converting the micro workload distributions for each of the resource consumption demand profiles into a set of resource requirements for running the given workload on an information technology infrastructure, and allocating resources of the information technology infrastructure to the given workload based on the set of resource requirements.

Modeling workloads using micro workloads representing normalized units of resource consumption metrics

An apparatus in one embodiment comprises a processing platform comprising one or more processing devices. The processing platform implements a database configured to store metric and level information for each of a plurality of models, and a metric mapper adapted to interface with the database. The metric mapper is configured to utilize the metric and level information stored in the database to establish an association between a first metric characterizing at least one of a workload and a resource in accordance with a first one of the models and a second metric characterizing at least one of a workload and a resource in accordance with a second one of the models. The established association is illustratively applied to relate service requirements specified at least in part using the first metric of the first model to service capabilities specified at least in part using the second metric of the second model.

Processing platform with metric mapping for interoperability of multiple distinct models

A system, method, and computer program product for determining an optimal configuration for a computing system. For example, a method may include accessing functional requirements and resource constraint information. Functional requirements are converted into hardware requirements and functional models are generated, each of which satisfies the hardware requirements. Functional models are converted to functional utilization models, and functional utilization model values are generated for the functional utilization models. The method also may include defining a resource model for each of the functional models and converting the resource models to resource utilization models. A resource utilization model value is generated for each of the resource utilization models. A set of viable models is identified based on the values for the functional utilization models and the resource utilization models, and then a best fit model is identified based on the determined functional model value and the determined resource constraint model value.
