Proactive adjustment of resource allocation to information technology assets based on predicted resource utilization

Abstract

An apparatus comprises a processing device configured to obtain monitoring data characterizing resource utilization by information technology (IT) assets having resources assigned from a shared resource pool, to select features for use in modeling predicted resource utilization by the IT assets in future time periods, to generate predictions of resource utilization by the IT assets in each of the future time periods, and to determine whether the predicted resource utilization by a given IT asset exhibits at least a threshold difference from its current resource allocation. The processing device is further configured, response to the determination, to proactively adjust resource allocation to the given IT asset from the shared resource pool for the given future time period based at least in part on the predicted resource utilization, for the given future time period, by other ones of the IT assets having resources assigned from the shared resource pool.
