Abstract

An information handling system includes a delay controller having an analytics engine configured to analyze telemetry data associated with an installation of a program, to calculate a confidence index based upon the analyzed telemetry data, and to generate a recommendation corresponding to the calculated confidence index. A download controller receives an end-user recommendation selection, and delays the installation of the program based upon a delay time in the received end-user recommendation selection.

Claims (34)

1. An information handling system having improved data management, comprising:

a processor; and

a delay controller coupled to the processor, the delay controller including:

an analytics engine configured to analyze telemetry data associated with an installation of a program, to calculate a confidence index based upon the analyzed telemetry data, and to generate a recommendation corresponding to the calculated confidence index; and

a download controller configured to receive an end-user recommendation selection, and to delay the installation of the program based upon a delay time in the received end-user recommendation selection.

2. The information handling system of claim 1 , wherein the installation of the program includes reinstallation of an operating system.

3. The information handling system of claim 2 , wherein the telemetry data include measured real-time events that that are monitored from a remote site.

4. The information handling system of claim 1 , wherein the telemetry data include measurements based upon local time zone, geography, and system configuration of the information handling system.

5. The information handling system of claim 1 , wherein different recommendations are generated for different confidence indices, wherein each one of the recommendations includes a particular amount of the delay time for the installation of the program.

6. The information handling system of claim 1 , wherein the recommendation includes automated installation of the program at a particular period of time.

7. The information handling system of claim 1 , wherein the analytics engine receives measured real-time events through a baseband management controller.

8. The information handling system of claim 1 , wherein the confidence index includes a metric indicating duration and speed of the installation of the program.

9. The information handling system of claim 1 further comprising a telemetry data storage that stores the telemetry data, historical data, and real-time measured events that are received through a baseband management controller.

10. The information handling system of claim 1 , wherein the delaying the installation of the program includes changing a configuration of the information handling system.

11. An information handling system, comprising:

a processor; and

a delay controller coupled to the processor, the delay controller including:

an analytics engine configured to analyze telemetry data associated with data downloading, to calculate a confidence index based upon the analyzed telemetry data, and to generate a recommendation based upon the calculated confidence index; and

a download controller configured to receive an end-user recommendation selection and to control the data downloading based upon the received end-user recommendation selection.

12. The information handling system of claim 11 , wherein the data downloading is used to install a program or to perform a process in the information handling system.

13. The information handling system of claim 11 , wherein the telemetry data are measured based upon local time zone and geography of the information handling system, system configuration of the information handling system, or a combination thereof.

14. The information handling system of claim 11 , wherein the generated recommendation includes a delay time for the data downloading.

15. The information handling system of claim 14 , wherein the generated recommendation includes system reconfiguration of the information handling system.

16. The information handling system of claim 11 , wherein the analytics engine receives the telemetry data through a baseband management controller.

17. The information handling system of claim 16 , wherein the confidence index includes a metric indicating duration time for completion of the data downloading.

18. A method, comprising:

initiating, by a hardware processor, an installation of a program;

monitoring, by an analytics engine, telemetry data associated with the installation of the program;

calculating a confidence index based upon the monitored telemetry data;

generating recommendations based upon the calculated confidence index;

receiving an end-user entered recommendation selection; and

controlling the installation of the program based upon the received end-user entered recommendation selection.

19. The method of claim 18 , wherein the confidence index includes a metric indicating a duration time for a completion of the installation of the program.

20. The information handling system of claim 18 , wherein different recommendations are generated for different calculated confidence indices.
