Abstract

Methods, systems, and apparatuses, for real-time operation control, among other things. There may be adjustments to a first device in which a first network service operates. The adjustment to the device may include moving a second network service of the first device to a second device. The first network service and the second network service may be associated with virtual machines.

First claim

What is claimed:

1. An apparatus comprising:
a processor; and
a memory coupled with the processor, the memory storing executable instructions that when executed by the processor cause the processor to effectuate operations comprising:
measuring a performance over a period of a first network service operating on a first device;
receiving a request for visualizations for one or more scenarios forecasting performance of the first network service;
generating visualization information for the first network service based on the request; and
providing a display of the visualization information.

2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the performance is based on an average or median parameter for a network using the first network service.

3. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the performance is based on a gateway level, a point of presence level, or a city metro level associated with the first network service.

4. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the one or more scenarios are associated with: automation, resiliency, homogeneity, process or a combination thereof.

5. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first device is a gateway of a first type.

6. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the performance is adjusted based on a type of customer.

7. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the request comprises a comparison of performance for different customers using the first network service.

8. A method comprising:
measuring, by a processing system comprising a processor, a performance over a period of a first network service operating on a first device;
receiving, by the processing system, a request for visualizations for one or more scenarios forecasting performance of the first network service;
generating visualization information, by the processing system, for the first network service based on the request; and
displaying, by the processing system, the visualization information.

9. The method of claim 8 , further comprising moving a second network service of the first device to a second device in response to the second device being a new device that has come online.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the first device is a first type of gateway, and the second device is a second type of gateway.

11. The method of claim 8 , wherein the one or more scenarios are associated with: automation, resiliency, homogeneity, process or a combination thereof.

12. The method of claim 8 , wherein the request comprises a comparison of performance for different customers using the first network service.

13. The method of claim 8 , wherein the performance is based on an average or median parameter for a network using the first network service.

14. The method of claim 8 , wherein the performance is based on a gateway level, a point of presence level or a city metro level associated with the first network service.

15. The method of claim 8 , wherein the performance is adjusted based on a type of customer.

16. A non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium storing executable instructions that when executed by a computing device cause said computing device to effectuate operations comprising:
measuring a performance over a period of a first network service operating on a first device;
receiving a request for visualizations for one or more scenarios forecasting performance of the first network service;
generating visualization information for the first network service based on the request; and
displaying of the visualization information.

17. The non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium of claim 16 , wherein the performance is based on an average or median parameter for a network using the first network service.

18. The non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium of claim 16 , wherein the performance is based on a gateway level, a point of presence level or a city metro level associated with the first network service.

19. The non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium of claim 16 , wherein the one or more scenarios are associated with: automation, resiliency, homogeneity, process or a combination thereof.

20. The non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium of claim 16 , wherein the visualization information comprises a comparison of performance for different customers using the first network service based on the request.
