Accurate time estimates for operations performed on an SDDC

Abstract:

Accurate time estimates for operations performed on an SDDC are disclosed. The method includes receiving information about a job performed on an SDDC from at least one of a plurality of different reporting SDDC's, the information including a description of the SDDC, a description of the job performed on the SDDC, and a plurality of time stamps, each time stamp indicative of an operation performed on the SDDC in order to complete the job. The information is stored in a database in a granular time-based data set. When a request for a time estimate for a yet-to-be-performed job is received from at least a second SDDC (the request including a description of the SDDC), the stored information is used in conjunction with the description of the second SDDC to generate a time estimate for the yet-to-be-performed job.
