Abstract

An information handling system may include a processor and non-transitory computer-readable media communicatively coupled to the processor and having stored thereon a program of instructions configured to, when read and executed by the processor, perform data collection to retrieve hardware information regarding a second information handling system and analyze the hardware information to determine one or more recommended purposes for the second information handling system.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A management server comprising:
a processor; and
non-transitory computer-readable media communicatively coupled to the processor and having stored thereon a program of instructions, that when executed by the processor, cause the management server to perform workload modeling operations including:
performing data collection to retrieve hardware information regarding each of a plurality of managed information handling systems;
analyzing the hardware information to determine one or more recommended purposes for each of the plurality of managed information handling systems;
determining a ranking of the one or more recommended purposes;
communicating to a user the ranking of the one or more recommended purposes; and
in response to a user selection of a selected purpose from the one or more recommended purposes, applying the hardware configuration profile associated with the selected purpose to the particular managed information handling system.

2. The information handling system of claim 1 , wherein the workload modeling operations further include, for each particular recommended purpose:
generating a hardware configuration profile to be applied to each particular managed information handling system if the particular recommended purpose were to be chosen as the selected purpose of the particular managed information handling system; and
storing the hardware configuration profiles to a library.

3. The information handling system of claim 2 , wherein each hardware configuration profiles includes recommendations for hardware modifications of the particular managed information handling system to optimize the particular recommended purpose.

4. A method comprising:
performing data collection to retrieve hardware information regarding each of a plurality of managed information handling systems;
analyzing the hardware information to determine one or more recommended purposes for each of the plurality of managed information handling systems;
determining a ranking of the one or more recommended purposes;
communicating to a user the ranking of the one or more recommended purposes; and
in response to a user selection of a selected purpose from the one or more recommended purposes, applying the hardware configuration profile associated with the selected purpose to the particular managed information handling system.

5. The method of claim 4 , further comprising, for each particular recommended purpose:
generating a hardware configuration profile to be applied to each particular managed information handling system if the particular recommended purpose were to be chosen as the selected purpose of the particular managed information handling system; and
storing the hardware configuration profiles to a library.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein each hardware configuration profiles includes recommendations for hardware modifications of the particular managed information handling system to optimize the particular recommended purpose.

7. An article of manufacture comprising:
a processor;
a non-transitory computer-readable medium; and
computer-executable instructions carried on the computer-readable medium, the instructions readable by the processor, the instructions, when read and executed, for causing the processor to perform workload modeling operations including:
performing data collection to retrieve hardware information regarding each of a plurality of managed information handling systems; and
analyzing the hardware information to determine one or more recommended purposes for each of the plurality of managed information handling systems;

determining a ranking of the one or more recommended purposes;
communicating to a user the ranking of the one or more recommended purposes; and
in response to a user selection of a selected purpose from the one or more recommended purposes, applying the hardware configuration profile associated with the selected purpose to the particular managed information handling system.

8. The article of claim 7 , workload modeling operations further including, for each particular recommended purpose:
generating a hardware configuration profile to be applied to each particular managed information handling system if the particular recommended purpose were to be chosen as the selected purpose of the particular managed information handling system; and
storing the hardware configuration profiles to a library.

9. The article of claim 8 , wherein one or more of the hardware configuration profiles includes recommendations for hardware modifications of the particular managed information handling system to optimize the particular recommended purpose.
