Abstract
In one embodiment, a system includes a processor and logic integrated with and/or executable by the processor, the logic being configured to cause the processor to: collect, by the processor, workload information for a computing/storage device for a present time period and one or more previous time periods; determine, by the processor, a maximum workload parameter for the present time period and the one or more previous time periods; determine, by the processor, a maximum workload threshold that corresponds to the maximum workload parameter; compute, by the processor, a difference between the maximum workload threshold and the maximum workload parameter; and determine, by the processor, an amount of workload to move to the computing/storage device based on the difference. Other methods and computer program products are presented in additional embodiments.
