Abstract

Claims (56)

1. An apparatus comprising:

a processing platform comprising at least one processor coupled to at least one memory;

the processing platform configured to:

obtain a set of profiles for configuring a set of devices in an information processing system wherein, for a given device, a given profile comprises one or more configuration attribute values corresponding to one or more components of the given device;

divide each of at least a portion of the profiles of the set of profiles into two or more sub-profiles to form a set of sub-profiles wherein, for a given divided profile of a given device, two or more sub-profiles respectively correspond to two or more components of the given device;

store the set of sub-profiles;

analyze at least a portion of the set of sub-profiles;

identify one or more sub-profiles from the set of sub-profiles that are a match for another device in the information processing system based on the analysis; and

form a profile for the other device from the one or more identified sub-profiles.

2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the processing platform is further configured to:

identify a profile from the set of profiles based on the analysis; and

form a profile for the other device from the identified profile.

3. The apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the processing platform is further configured to:

configure the other device using the profile formed from the one or more identified sub-profiles or the identified profile.

4. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein identifying the one or more sub-profiles from the set of sub-profiles that are a match for the other device is based on a multi-label classification operation that correlates two or more of a current device state, one or more applications installed on the device, and one or more anticipated device requirements.

5. The apparatus of claim 4 , wherein the multi-label classification operation comprises one or more artificial intelligence-based algorithms.

6. An apparatus comprising:

a processing platform comprising at least one processor coupled to at least one memory;

the processing platform configured to:

obtain a set of profiles for configuring a set of devices in an information processing system wherein, for a given device, a given profile comprises one or more configuration attribute values corresponding to one or more components of the given device;

divide each of at least a portion of the profiles of the set of profiles into two or more sub-profiles to form a set of sub-profiles wherein, for a given divided profile of a given device, two or more sub-profiles respectively correspond to two or more components of the given device; and

store the set of sub-profiles for use in configuring another device in the information processing system;

wherein dividing each of at least a portion of the profiles of the set of profiles into two or more sub-profiles to form the set of sub-profiles further comprises using a topic tagging operation wherein, for a given profile, each component and its one or more configuration attribute values is tagged as a topic, and the given profile is divided into tagged topics such that each component and its one or more configuration attribute values becomes part of a given sub-profile of the given profile.

7. A method performed by a processing platform, comprising:

obtaining a set of profiles for configuring a set of devices in an information processing system wherein, for a given device, a given profile comprises one or more configuration attribute values corresponding to one or more components of the given device;

dividing each of at least a portion of the profiles of the set of profiles into two or more sub-profiles to form a set of sub-profiles wherein, for a given divided profile of a given device, two or more sub-profiles respectively correspond to two or more components of the given device;

storing the set of sub-profiles;

analyzing at least a portion of the set of sub-profiles;

identifying one or more sub-profiles from the set of sub-profiles that are a match for another device in the information processing system based on the analysis; and

forming a profile for the other device from the one or more identified sub-profiles;

wherein the processing platform comprises at least one processor coupled to at least one memory.

8. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein identifying the one or more sub-profiles from the set of sub-profiles that are a match for the other device is based on a contextual matching operation.

9. The method of claim 7 , further comprising:

identifying a profile from the set of profiles based on the analysis; and

forming a profile for the other device from the identified profile.

10. The method of claim 9 , further comprising:

configuring the other device using the profile formed from the one or more identified sub-profiles or the identified profile.

11. The method of claim 7 , wherein identifying the one or more sub-profiles from the set of sub-profiles that are a match for the other device is based on a multi-label classification operation that correlates two or more of a current device state, one or more applications installed on the device, and one or more anticipated device requirements.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the multi-label classification operation comprises one or more artificial intelligence-based algorithms.

13. The method of claim 7 , wherein dividing each of at least a portion of the profiles of the set of profiles into two or more sub-profiles to form the set of sub-profiles further comprises using a topic tagging operation wherein, for a given profile, each component and its one or more configuration attribute values is tagged as a topic, and the given profile is divided into tagged topics such that each component and its one or more configuration attribute values becomes part of a given sub-profile of the given profile.

14. The method of claim 7 , wherein identifying the one or more sub-profiles from the set of sub-profiles that are a match for the other device is based on a contextual matching operation.

15. A computer program product comprising a non-transitory processor-readable storage medium having stored therein program code of one or more software programs, wherein the program code, when executed by a processing platform comprising at least one processor coupled to at least one memory, causes the processing platform to:

obtain a set of profiles for configuring a set of devices in an information processing system wherein, for a given device, a given profile comprises one or more configuration attribute values corresponding to one or more components of the given device;

divide each of at least a portion of the profiles of the set of profiles into two or more sub-profiles to form a set of sub-profiles wherein, for a given divided profile of a given device, two or more sub-profiles respectively correspond to two or more components of the given device;

store the set of sub-profiles;

analyze at least a portion of the set of sub-profiles;

identify one or more sub-profiles from the set of sub-profiles that are a match for another device in the information processing system based on the analysis; and

form a profile for the other device from the one or more identified sub-profiles.

16. The computer program product of claim 15 , wherein the processing platform is further caused to:

identify a profile from the set of profiles based on the analysis; and

form a profile for the other device from the identified profile.

17. The computer program product of claim 16 , wherein the processing platform is further caused to:

configure the other device using the profile formed from the one or more identified sub-profiles or the identified profile.

18. The computer program product of claim 15 , wherein identifying the one or more sub-profiles from the set of sub-profiles that are a match for the other device is based on a multi-label classification operation that correlates two or more of a current device state, one or more applications installed on the device, and one or more anticipated device requirements.
