Abstract

A system to facilitate infrastructure management is described. The system includes one or more processors and a non-transitory machine-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed, cause the one or more processors to execute an infrastructure management controller to receive first monitoring data indicating a first infrastructure condition occurring at an on-premise infrastructure controller, determine a first load state of the on-premise infrastructure controller based on the first infrastructure condition and adjust a consistency level of the on-premise infrastructure controller to a first level of the consistency based on the first state.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A system to facilitate infrastructure management, comprising:
one or more processors; and
a non-transitory machine-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed, cause the one or more processors to execute an infrastructure management controller to:
monitor resource service conditions at an on-premise infrastructure controller by polling the on-premise infrastructure controller;
receive first monitoring data in response to the polling indicating a first infrastructure condition occurring at the on-premise infrastructure controller;
determine a first load state of a plurality of load states of the on-premise infrastructure controller based on the first infrastructure condition, wherein each of the plurality of load states is associated with a load average range indicating a load from one or more infrastructure resources managed by the on-premise infrastructure controller;
maintain performance and response time of the on-premise infrastructure controller by adjusting an interval at which the polling is performed based on the first load state; and
adjust a consistency level of the on-premise infrastructure controller to a first level of the consistency based on the first load state.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the infrastructure management controller receives second monitoring data indicating a second infrastructure condition occurring at the on-premise infrastructure controller, determines a second load state of the plurality of load states of the on-premise infrastructure controller based on the second infrastructure condition and adjusts the consistency level of the on-premise infrastructure controller to a second level of the consistency based on the second load state.

3. The system of claim 2 , wherein the infrastructure condition comprises a load average, and determining a state comprises calculating a load percentage based on a received load average and comparing the load percentage to a state map to determine one of the plurality of load states associated with the load percentage.

4. The system of claim 3 , wherein the plurality of load states comprise low, medium high and critical states.

5. The system of claim 4 , wherein the infrastructure management controller adjusts a timeout interval to a first timeout interval based on the first load state and adjusts the timeout interval to a second timeout interval based on the second load state.

6. The system of claim 4 , wherein the infrastructure management controller adjusts an aging algorithm associated with a retention period of historical records to a first aging algorithm based on the first load state and adjusts the aging algorithm to a second aging algorithm based on the second load state.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the on-premise infrastructure controller controls a set of physical resources and the infrastructure management controller manages control of the set of physical resources via the on-premise infrastructure controller.

8. The system of claim 7 , wherein the consistency level specifies an agreement with a system user that guarantees consistent access to the set of physical resources.

9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the infrastructure management controller transmits the consistency level to a client device associated with the system user.

10. The system of claim 9 , wherein the client device displays status information via a user interface providing an indication of the consistency level.

11. A non-transitory machine-readable medium storing instructions which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:
monitor resource service conditions at an on-premise infrastructure controller by polling the on-premise infrastructure controller the on-premise infrastructure controller;
receive first monitoring data in response to the polling indicating a first infrastructure condition occurring at the on-premise infrastructure controller;
determine a first load state of a plurality of load states of the on-premise infrastructure controller based on the first infrastructure condition, wherein each of the plurality of load states is associated with a load average range indicating a load from one or more infrastructure resources managed by the on-premise infrastructure controller;
maintain performance and response time of the on-premise infrastructure controller by adjusting an interval at which the polling is performed based on the first load state; and
adjust a consistency level of the on-premise infrastructure controller to a first level of the consistency based on the first load state.

12. The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 11 , storing instructions which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:
receive second monitoring data indicating a second infrastructure condition occurring at the on-premise infrastructure controller;
determine a second load state of the plurality of load states of the on-premise infrastructure controller based on the second infrastructure condition; and
adjust a consistency level of the on-premise infrastructure controller to a second level of the consistency based on the second load state.

13. The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 11 , wherein the infrastructure condition comprises at least one of load average, network latency, throughput and level of frequency of data changes.

14. The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 13 , wherein the plurality of load states comprise low, medium high and critical states.

15. The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 14 , storing instructions which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:
adjust a timeout interval to a first timeout interval based on the first load state; and
adjust the timeout interval to a second timeout interval based on the second load state.

16. The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 14 , storing instructions which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to transmit the consistency level to a client device.

17. The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 14 , storing instructions which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:
adjust an aging algorithm associated with a retention period of historical records to a first aging algorithm based on the first load state; and
adjust the aging algorithm to a second aging algorithm based on the second load state.

18. A method to facilitate infrastructure management, comprising:
monitor resource service conditions at an on-premise infrastructure controller by polling the on-premise infrastructure controller;
receiving first monitoring data in response to the polling indicating a first infrastructure condition occurring at the on-premise infrastructure controller;
determining a first load state of a plurality of load states of the on-premise infrastructure controller based on the first infrastructure condition, wherein each of the plurality of load states is associated with a load average range indicating a load from one or more infrastructure resources managed by the on-premise infrastructure controller;
maintain performance and response time of the on-premise infrastructure controller by adjusting an interval at which the polling is performed based on the first load state; and
adjusting a consistency level of the on-premise infrastructure controller to a first level of the consistency based on the first load state.

19. The method of claim 18 , wherein the infrastructure condition comprises a load average, and said determining a first load state comp
