Description
Procuring new IT equipment for the CERN data centre requires
optimizing the computing power and storage capacity while minimizing
the costs. In order to achieve this, understanding how the existing
hardware resources are used in production is key.
To that extent, leveraging traditional monitoring data seems to be the
way to go.
This presentation will explain how we extract interesting
signals from the hardware monitoring metrics and how we use them as a
feedback loop when tendering for new hardware.
It will describe the underlying software project, named HARRY, based
on open source tools.
Finally, it will show how we use HARRY as a long
term trending tool for capacity planning purposes.
