  • System and method for automatically scaling virtual machine vertically using a forecast system within the computing environment
    Patent number: 11843525
    Abstract: A feature capacity scaling methodology is disclosed. In a computer-implemented method, components of a computing environment are automatically monitored, and have a feature capacity analysis using a forecast performed thereon. Provided the feature capacity analysis determines that features of the components are well utilized, a vertical scaling of the features is performed.
    Type: Grant

  • Workload placement with forecast
    Patent number: 10956230
    Abstract: Various examples are disclosed for workload placement using forecast data. Forecast data for workloads and providers during a predefined period of time in the future is considered when identifying stressed providers and the feasibility of a workload move. Workloads with demand spikes at different future times can be matched by stacking current demand and forecast demand by timestamps. The possibility of stress can be reduced by making moves preemptively and considering forecast demand when evaluating the feasibility of a workload move.
