Abstract

Embodiments analyze historical events to calculate the impact of multi-system events and, in response, allocate resources. Embodiments determine a multi-system event is occurring based on historical multi-system event data; correlate the multi-system event with one or more predicted resource allocation results of the multi-system event based on historical multi-system event data; and in response to the correlation, initiate mitigation of the one or more predicted resource allocation results, including re-allocation of at least one affected resource to a new system. Some also determine current consumption of a resource utilized by a service; determine current processing throughput; calculate a relationship between consumption of the resource and processing throughput; determine the service is impacted by the multi-system event; calculate expected processing throughput in response to the multi-system event; and calculate expected consumption of the resource based on the calculated expected processing throughput and the calculated relationship.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A system for analyzing historical events to calculate impact of multi-system event impact and, in response, allocate resources, the system comprising:
a computer apparatus including a processor, a memory device, and a communication device; and
a software module stored in the memory, comprising computer-readable instructions that when executed by the processor cause the processor to:
determine a multi-system event is occurring based on historical multi-system event data;
retrieve resource data from one or more disparate source systems by:
designating each of the one or more source systems as low functioning, medium functioning or high functioning based on applications running on the one or more source systems;
detecting presence of new information at a source system of the one or more source systems; and
establishing a dedicated communication channel between a hub system and the source system based on receiving control signals from a control system, wherein establishing the dedicated communication channel comprises determining that the control signals are associated with a predetermined high priority and that the source system is a high functioning system based on relevance of the new information at the source system with the multi-system event;
wherein the retrieved resource data comprises the historical multi-system event data, wherein the multi-system event is associated with disruption of a service;

determine one or more predicted resource allocation results of the multi-system event based on historical multi-system event data, wherein the one or more predicted resource allocation results comprise a current resource level of a resource, determined expected attrition of the resource due to the multi-system event, a determined amount of resource required to maintain processing throughput, and determined variance gap between the current resource level and the determined amount of resource required; and
in response to identifying that the variance gap requires mitigation of the one or more predicted resource allocation results, initiate mitigation of the one or more predicted resource allocation results-by allocating additional resources from a new system;
determine that an amount of the additional resources is greater than the determined required amount of the resource by more than a predetermined threshold amount, wherein the determined required amount of the resource comprises a sum of an average consumption of the resource and a buffer amount;
decrease the amount of the additional resources and provide feedback to the source system for future occurrences of multi-system events.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein determining the one or more predicted resource allocation results further comprises:
determining current consumption of the resource utilized by the service;
determining current processing throughput of the resource;
calculating a relationship between consumption of the resource and processing throughput;
determining that the service is impacted by the multi-system event;
calculating expected processing throughput in response to the multi-system event; and
determining the expected attrition of the resource due to the multi-system event by calculating expected consumption of the resource based on the calculated expected processing throughput and the calculated relationship.

3. The system of claim 2 , wherein the computer-readable instructions when executed by the processor further cause the processor to:
initiate re-allocation of resources to account for the calculated expected consumption of the resource.

4. The system of claim 2 , wherein the computer-readable instructions when executed by the processor further cause the processor to:
initiate presentation of the calculated expected consumption of the resource to an administrator; and
receive instructions from the administrator regarding desired mitigation.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the computer-readable instructions when executed by the processor further cause the processor to:
determine that an amount of the additional resources is greater than a required amount of the resource by more than a predetermined threshold amount, wherein the required amount of the resource comprises a sum of an average consumption of the resource and a buffer amount; and
decrease the amount of the additional resources.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein designating each of the one or more source systems further comprises:
flagging one or more abnormalities associated with network communication of the source system, the one or more abnormalities comprising an unintended offline source system, a security breach of the source system, and/or network communication having noise above a predetermined threshold of interference,
wherein establishing the dedicated communication channel further comprises:
optimizing network communication parameters of the dedicated communication channel such that the dedicated communication channel is structured for reducing interruption from a security breach, traffic noise or offline systems.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the additional resources comprise an electronic processing resource or an electronic memory resource.

8. A computer program product for analyzing historical events to calculate impact of multi-system event impact and, in response, allocate resources, the computer program product comprising at least one non-transitory computer-readable medium having computer-readable program code portions embodied therein, the computer-readable program code portions comprising:
an executable portion configured to determine a multi-system event is occurring based on comparing with historical multi-system event data;
an executable portion configured to retrieve resource data from one or more disparate source systems by:
designating each of the one or more source systems as low functioning, medium functioning or high functioning based on applications running on the one or more source systems;
detecting presence of new information at a source system of the one or more source systems; and
establishing a dedicated communication channel between a hub system and the source system based on receiving control signals from a control system, wherein establishing the dedicated communication channel comprises determining that the control signals are associated with a predetermined high priority and that the source system is a high functioning system based on relevance of the new information at the source system with the multi-system event;
an executable portion configured to wherein the retrieved resource data comprises the historical multi-system event data, wherein the multi-system event is associated with disruption of a service;
an executable portion configured to determine one or more predicted resource allocation results of the multi-system event based on historical multi-system event data, wherein the one or more predicted resource allocation results comprise a current resource level of a resource, determined expected attrition of the resource due to the multi-system event, a determined amount of resource required to maintain processing throughput, and determined variance gap between the current resource level and the determined amount of resource required; and
an executable portion configured to, in response to identifying that the variance gap requires mitigation of the one or more predicted resource allocation results, initiate mitigation of the one or more predicted resource allocation results by allocating additional resources from a new system;
an executable portion configured to determine that an amount of the additional resources is greater than the determined required amount of the resource by more than a predeter
