In the last few years, all companies are moving to the cloud and adopting the Software as a Service (SaaS) model. The objective of using both supervised and unsupervised algorithms is to make a comparison between them. Our project explores unsupervised and supervised learning techniques to predict and analyze hard drive crashes. Recognizing features that may be attributed to the failure of a hard disk, and predicting the event of hard disk crash through machine learning, is the main goal of our project. However, most of the hardware failures don’t happen overnight and hard disks starts to show significant reduced performance over the last few days of their lifetime before failing. where the failure of disks cannot be predicted. Admittedly, there are situations such as electricity failure in the server, natural hazard, etc. If companies are able to predict the failure of their hard-drives, it would reduce the economic impact incurred by the company due to these failures greatly, and protect data thereby maintaining customer trust. To alleviate the impact of such failures, companies are actively looking at ways to predict disk failures and take preemptive measures.
It can lead to potential loss of all important and sensitive data stored in these data centers. Hard disk failures can be catastrophic in large scale data centers.
