Abstract

A method includes receiving respective statistics for a plurality of infrastructure implementations. Each infrastructure implementation includes a respective organization and a respective deployment architecture. The method also includes determining a selected infrastructure implementation of the plurality of infrastructure implementations. The method further includes determining, using a processor, first particular implementations comparable to the selected infrastructure implementations from the plurality of infrastructure implementations, based on characteristics of the respective organization of the selected infrastructure implementation. The method additionally includes determining comparison metrics. The determining comparison metrics includes anonymizing the respective organization of each of the first particular implementations, and aggregating the respective statistics of each of the anonymized first particular implementations into comparison statistics. The comparison metrics include the comparison statistics, each respective deployment architecture of each of the first particular implementations, and the selected infrastructure implementation.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method, comprising:
determining, by an infrastructure management process, a configuration of hosted applications in a deployment architecture for a selected infrastructure implementation that is provided for a particular organization associated with a particular industry;
determining, by the infrastructure management process, first particular implementations comparable to the selected infrastructure implementation based on whether each implementation hosts the same applications as the configuration of hosted applications for the selected infrastructure implementation;
determining, by the infrastructure management process, second particular implementations provided for organizations that are associated with the particular industry, wherein the first and second particular implementations are selected from a plurality of infrastructure implementations deployed for respective organizations in a cloud environment;
anonymizing, by the infrastructure management process, the respective organization for each of the first and second particular implementations;
aggregating, by the infrastructure management process, performance statistics for each of the anonymized first and second particular implementations for comparison with the selected infrastructure implementation, wherein the performance statistics describe resource utilization of each first and second particular implementation while deployed;
determining, by the infrastructure management process, a performance deficiency for the selected infrastructure implementation by comparing (1) performance statistics for the selected infrastructure implementation, (2) the aggregated performance statistics for the first particular implementations, and (3) the aggregated performance statistics for the second particular implementations, and
performing, by the infrastructure management process, at least one resource management action to address the performance deficiency based on the performance deficiency.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein each of the respective organizations of the first particular implementations is associated with one of a plurality of industries; and wherein the characteristics of the respective organization of the selected infrastructure implementation comprise the respective associated industry.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the respective statistics for the plurality of infrastructure implementations comprise:
performance statistics; and
reliability statistics.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
determining a ranking of the selected infrastructure implementation based on a comparison of the respective statistics of each of the first particular implementations and the selected infrastructure implementation statistics.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the respective statistics for the plurality of infrastructure implementations comprise energy consumption statistics.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein determining first particular implementations comparable to the selected infrastructure implementation further comprises:
determining a market segment associated with the respective organization for the selected infrastructure implementation; and
determining comparable infrastructure implementations based on the market segment, wherein the first particular implementations include the comparable infrastructure implementations.

7. A computer configured to access a storage device, the computer comprising:
a processor; and
a non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium storing computer-readable instructions that when executed by the processor cause the computer to perform:
determining, by an infrastructure management process, a configuration of hosted applications in a deployment architecture for a selected infrastructure implementation that is provided for a particular organization associated with a particular industry;
determining, by the infrastructure management process, first particular implementations comparable to the selected infrastructure implementation based on whether each implementation hosts the same applications as the configuration of hosted applications for the selected infrastructure implementation;
determining, by the infrastructure management process, second particular implementations provided for organizations that are associated with the particular industry, wherein the first and second particular implementations are selected from a plurality of infrastructure implementations deployed for respective organizations in a cloud environment;
anonymizing, by the infrastructure management process, the respective organization for each of the first and second particular implementations;
aggregating, by the infrastructure management process, performance statistics for each of the anonymized first and second particular implementations for comparison with the selected infrastructure implementation, wherein the performance statistics describe resource utilization of each first and second particular implementation while deployed;
determining, by the infrastructure management process, a performance deficiency for the selected infrastructure implementation by comparing (1) performance statistics for the selected infrastructure implementation, (2) the aggregated performance statistics for the first particular implementations, and (3) the aggregated performance statistics for the second particular implementations, and
performing, by the infrastructure management process, at least one resource management action to address the performance deficiency based on the performance deficiency.

8. The computer of claim 7 , wherein each of the respective organizations of the first particular implementations is associated with one of a plurality of industries; and wherein the characteristics of the respective organization of the selected infrastructure implementation comprise the respective associated industry.

9. The computer of claim 7 , wherein the respective statistics for the plurality of infrastructure implementations comprise:
performance statistics; and
reliability statistics.

10. The computer of claim 7 , wherein the computer-readable instructions further cause the computer to perform:
determining a ranking of the selected infrastructure implementation based on a comparison of the respective statistics of each of the first particular implementations and the selected infrastructure implementation statistics.

11. The computer of claim 7 , wherein the respective statistics for the plurality of infrastructure implementations comprise energy consumption statistics.

12. The computer of claim 7 , wherein determining first particular implementations comparable to the selected infrastructure implementation further comprises:
determining a market segment associated with the respective organization for the selected infrastructure implementation; and
determining comparable infrastructure implementations based on the market segment, wherein the first particular implementations include the comparable infrastructure implementations.

13. A computer program product, comprising:
a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having computer-readable program code embodied therewith, the computer-readable program code being operable, when executed, to:
determine, by an infrastructure management process, a configuration of hosted applications in a deployment architecture for a selected infrastructure implementation that is provided for a particular organization associated with a particular industry;
determine, by the infrastructure management process, first particular implementations comparable to the selected infrastructure implementation based on
