Abstract: Various embodiments described herein relate to techniques for forecasting with state transitions and confidence factors. In this regard, a system is configured to segment data associated with one or more assets to determine a set of classifications for one or more attributes related to the one or more assets. The system is also configured to generate a state machine associated with a Markov chain model based on the set of classifications for the data. Furthermore, the system is configured to perform a machine learning process associated with the state machine to determine one or more behavior changes associated with the one or more attributes related to the one or more assets. The system is also configured to predict, based on the one or more behavior changes associated with the one or more attributes related to the one or more assets, a change in demand data for the one or more assets during a future interval of time.

Abstract: In some examples, a method includes obtaining, by a data center infrastructure monitoring (DCIM) agent executing on a computing device deployed by a data center provider within a first data center of a plurality of geographically-distributed data centers, an infrastructure asset data object comprising infrastructure asset data for a physical infrastructure asset of a second data center of the plurality of geographically-distributed data centers; translating, by the DCIM agent using an asset mapping table, the infrastructure asset data object to formatted infrastructure asset data, wherein the asset mapping table maps one or more properties of infrastructure asset data objects to management protocol objects or control protocol objects for one of a management protocol or control protocol; and sending, by the DCIM agent to customer equipment co-located within the first data center, the formatted infrastructure asset data in a communication that conforms to one of the management protocol or control protocol.
