US Patent 10496306 Predictive forecasting and data growth trend in cloud services

Provided are systems and methods for operating a computing system in a data center to assist in the management of the resources of the data center. In various examples, the computing system can monitor use of the resources by tenants. Using data obtaining by monitoring the resources, the computing system can predict the expected use of the resources. The predicted use, or growth data, can be used by various systems in the data center. The growth data can be used by a provisioning system to adjust the sizes of bundles of resources, so that the sizes of the bundles of resources more accurately reflect the manner in which tenants will use the bundles of resources when the bundles of resources are allocated to the tenants. The growth data can be used by a life cycle management system to proactively recycle data before a tenant runs out of storage space.
