Towards a non-intrusive recognition of anomalous system behavior in data centers

Towards a non-intrusive recognition of anomalous system behavior in data centers
In this paper we propose a monitoring system of a data center that is able to infer when the data center is getting into an anomalous behavior by analyzing the power consumption at each server and the data center network traffic. The monitoring system is non-intrusive in the sense that there is no need to install software on the data center servers. The monitoring architecture embeds two Elman Recurrent Networks (RNNs) to predict power consumed by each data center component starting from data center network traffic and viceversa. Results obtained along six mounts of experiments, within a data center, show that the architecture is able to classify anomalous system behaviors and normal ones by analyzing the error between the actual values of power consumption and network traffic and the ones inferred by the two RNNs.

Abstract

In this paper we propose a monitoring system of a data center that is able to infer when the data center is getting into an anomalous behavior by analyzing the power consumption at each server and the data center network traffic. The monitoring system is non-intrusive in the sense that there is no need to install software on the data center servers. The monitoring architecture embeds two Elman Recurrent Networks (RNNs) to predict power consumed by each data center component starting from data center network traffic and viceversa. Results obtained along six mounts of experiments, within a data center, show that the architecture is able to classify anomalous system behaviors and normal ones by analyzing the error between the actual values of power consumption and network traffic and the ones inferred by the two RNNs.
