Patent number: 11307770Abstract: According to one aspect of the present disclosure, a system and technique for capacity forecasting includes a host having a processor unit and a memory. Resource data associated with an environment is stored in the memory having inventory information of storage resources of the environment. A ledger module executable by a processor unit accesses policy data associated with data archival and creates an archival transaction. The ledger module targets data for the archival transaction, links at least one storage resource to the archival transaction, and forecasts a change in capacity of the linked storage resource for the archival transaction based on the policy data.Type: GrantFiled: September 24, 2019Date of Patent: April 19, 2022Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Sonia Cheng, Pamela H. Hurwitch, Roman Kisin, Anirudh Oswal, Deidre Paknad, Irina Simpson

Patent number: 10579266Abstract: According to one aspect of the present disclosure, a method and technique for capacity forecasting includes storing, in a memory, resource data associated with an environment, the resource data comprising inventory information of applications, processing resources and storage resources of the environment. A ledger module executable by a processor unit creates a storage capacity-affecting transaction. At least one of an application, processing resource and storage resource is identified and linked to the transaction from the resource data. An initiation time and duration associated with the transaction is determined, and a change in capacity of at least one linked storage resource for the transaction is determined and a time of the change in capacity.Type: GrantFiled: April 26, 2018Date of Patent: March 3, 2020Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Sonia Cheng, Pamela H. Hurwitch, Roman Kisin, Anirudh Oswal, Deidre Paknad, Irina Simpson
