Optimising Utilisation Forecasting with AI and Machine Learning

What IT team wouldn't like to have a crystal ball that could predict the IT future, letting them fix application and infrastructure performance problems before they arise? Well, the current shortage of crystal balls makes the union of artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and utilisation forecasting the next best thing for anticipating and avoiding issues that threaten the overall health and performance of all IT infrastructure components. The significance of AI has not been lost to organisations in the United Kingdom, with 43 per cent of them believing that AI will play a big role in their operations. Utilisation forecasting is a technique that applies machine learning algorithms to produce daily usage forecasts for all utilisation volumes across CPUs, physical and virtual servers, disks, storage, bandwidth, and other network elements, enabling networking teams to manage resources proactively. This technique helps IT engineers and network admins prevent downtime caused by over-utilisation.
