Abstract: Embodiments of the inventive subject matter include gathering, from a plurality of sensors of a computer system, information about the computer system. Embodiments further include generating a profile of performance of the computer system indicating a state of components of the computer system during use. Embodiments further include generating a profile of usage of the computer system indicating current activities and usage of the computer system. Embodiments further include analyzing the profile of performance of the computer system against the profile of usage of the computer system to determine if the state of the components of the computer system during use is acceptable for the current activities and usage of the computer system. Embodiments further include determining that productivity of the computer system is inhibited based, at least in part, on the analyzing the profile of performance of the computer system against the profile of usage of the computer system.

Abstract: Embodiments of the inventive subject matter include an apparatus comprising a processor and a computer readable storage medium having computer usable code. The computer usable code can be configured to gather information about a computer system. The computer usable code can be further configured to generate a profile of performance of the computer system based on the information about the computer system. The computer usable code can be further configured to generate a profile of usage of the computer system based on the information about the computer system. The computer usable code can be further configured to analyze the profile of performance of the computer system against the profile of usage of the computer system. The computer usable code can be further configured to determine that productivity of the computer system is inhibited based on the analysis of the profile of performance against the profile of usage.

Abstract: A system and a computer program product for selecting a primary-secondary host pair for mirroring virtual machines. The system includes a processor collecting data related to each of a plurality of potential primary-secondary host pairs in a computer network. The processor analyzes each of the plurality of potential primary-secondary host pairs in the computer network utilizing performance metrics. An ideal primary-secondary host pair in the computer network is determined by the processor based on the analysis of the performance metrics of each of the plurality of potential primary-secondary host pairs. In response to determining the ideal primary-secondary host pair, a primary host virtual machine is mirrored onto the secondary host of the primary-secondary host pair.
