Remote resource capacity and utilization management

Abstract:

A method, system, and program product for implementing a remote resource capacity and utilization optimization is provided. The method includes determining associations with a specified geographical region and an associated topic of interest with respect to social media Website traffic and trends associated with utilization of remote hardware and software resources. Current and historical software application downloads are tracked with respect to the social media Website traffic and trends and a currently consumed capacity of the remote hardware and software resources are detected with respect to the specified geographical region. Future resource requirements associated with the currently consumed capacity are determined and data representing the current and historical software application downloads is stored. An overall system capacity for enabling regionally specific demand surges associated with regional Web traffic is determined and a specified group of hardware and software resources for increasing the overall system capacity is enabled.
