Abstract

In accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure, an information handling system may include a processor and a non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon a program of instructions executable by the processor. The program of instructions may be configured to, when read and executed by the processor, receive telemetry data associated with one or more information handling resources, receive failure statistics associated with the one or more information handling resources, and correlate the telemetry data and the failure statistics to create training data for a pattern recognition engine configured to predict a failure status of an information handling resource from operational data associated with the information handling resource.

Claims (28)

1. An information handling system comprising:

a processor; and

a non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon a program of instructions executable by the processor, the program of instructions configured to, when read and executed by the processor:

receive telemetry data associated with one or more information handling resources, wherein the one or more information handling resources includes a hard disk drive, and wherein the telemetry data includes information regarding cyclic redundancy check (CRC) errors for the hard disk drive, volume of read input/output (I/O) for the hard disk drive, volume of write I/O for the hard disk drive, operating temperature for the hard disk drive, rotation rate of rotational media of the hard disk drive, number of power cycles for the hard disk drive, and an amount of time the hard disk drive has been powered on;

receive failure statistics associated with the one or more information handling resources, wherein the failure statistics include an indication of whether each of the one or more information handling resource is failed, about to fail, or healthy; and

correlate the telemetry data and the failure statistics to create training data for a pattern recognition engine configured to predict a failure status of an information handling resource from operational data associated with the information handling resource.

2. The information handling system of claim 1 , wherein the training data comprises time series data generated from the telemetry data and the failure statistics.

3. The information handling system of claim 1 , wherein the program of instructions is further configured to, when read and executed by the processor, implement the pattern recognition engine as a recurrent neural network with long short term memory.

4. The information handling system of claim 1 , wherein the program of instructions is further configured to, when read and executed by the processor, handle non-uniform time gaps in the telemetry data and the failure statistics by transforming such gaps into the frequency domain by way of a fast Fourier transform or discrete cosine transform.

5. The information handling system of claim 1 , wherein the program of instructions is further configured to, when read and executed by the processor, apply a rules-based decision engine to the failure status to determine a remedial action for the information handling resource.

6. A method comprising:

an information handling system receiving telemetry data associated with one or more information handling resources, wherein the one or more information handling resources includes a hard disk drive, and wherein the telemetry data includes information regarding cyclic redundancy check (CRC) errors for the hard disk drive, volume of read input/output (I/O) for the hard disk drive, volume of write I/O for the hard disk drive, operating temperature for the hard disk drive, rotation rate of rotational media of the hard disk drive, number of power cycles for the hard disk drive, and an amount of time the hard disk drive has been powered on;

the information handling system receiving failure statistics associated with the one or more information handling resources, wherein the failure statistics include an indication of whether each of the one or more information handling resource is failed, about to fail, or healthy; and

the information handling system correlating the telemetry data and the failure statistics to create training data for a pattern recognition engine configured to predict a failure status of an information handling resource from operational data associated with the information handling resource.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the training data comprises time series data generated from the telemetry data and the failure statistics.

8. The method of claim 6 , further comprising the information handling system implementing the pattern recognition engine as a recurrent neural network with long short term memory.

9. The method of claim 6 , further comprising the information handling system handling non-uniform time gaps in the telemetry data and the failure statistics by transforming such gaps into the frequency domain by way of a fast Fourier transform or discrete cosine transform.

10. The method of claim 6 , further comprising the information handling system applying a rules-based decision engine to the failure status to determine a remedial action for the information handling resource.

11. An article of manufacture comprising:

a non-transitory computer-readable medium; and

computer-executable instructions carried on the computer readable medium, the instructions readable by a processor, the instructions, when read and executed, for causing the processor to:

receive telemetry data associated with one or more information handling resources, wherein the one or more information handling resources includes a hard disk drive, and wherein the telemetry data includes information regarding cyclic redundancy check (CRC) errors for the hard disk drive, volume of read input/output (I/O) for the hard disk drive, volume of write I/O for the hard disk drive, operating temperature for the hard disk drive, rotation rate of rotational media of the hard disk drive, number of power cycles for the hard disk drive, and an amount of time the hard disk drive has been powered on;

receive failure statistics associated with the one or more information handling resources, wherein the failure statistics include an indication of whether each of the one or more information handling resource is failed, about to fail, or healthy; and

correlate the telemetry data and the failure statistics to create training data for a pattern recognition engine configured to predict a failure status of an information handling resource from operational data associated with the information handling resource.

12. The article of claim 11 , wherein the training data comprises time series data generated from the telemetry data and the failure statistics.

13. The article of claim 11 , the instructions for further causing the processor to, when read and executed by the processor, implement the pattern recognition engine as a recurrent neural network with long short term memory.

14. The article of claim 11 , the instructions for further causing the processor to, when read and executed by the processor, handle non-uniform time gaps in the telemetry data and the failure statistics by transforming such gaps into the frequency domain by way of a fast Fourier transform or discrete cosine transform.

15. The article of claim 11 , the instructions for further causing the processor to, when read and executed by the processor, apply a rules-based decision engine to the failure status to determine a remedial action for the information handling resource.
