We conducted our testing using Dell PowerScale storage with the NeoPulse platform from AI Dynamics to study how to predict performance using AIOps. We identified NFS latency as the performance indicator for which customers would like to see predictive reporting. We studied historical system activity to predict the NFS latency at five minute intervals for four hours in the future. A traditional software system can use these predictions to alert users of the potential performance bottleneck based on the user’s specified latency threshold level and spike duration. In the future, AI models can be built that help diagnose the source of these issues so that both an alert and the best recommended solution can be reported to the user.
The entire training process consists of these steps:
The following sections provide details about each of these steps.
