As the value and use of information continues to increase, individuals and businesses seek additional ways to process and store information. One option available to users is information handling systems. An information handling system generally processes, compiles, stores, and/or communicates information or data for business, personal, or other purposes thereby allowing users to take advantage of the value of the information. Because technology and information handling needs and requirements vary between different users or applications, information handling systems may also vary regarding what information is handled, how the information is handled, how much information is processed, stored, or communicated, and how quickly and efficiently the information may be processed, stored, or communicated. The variations in information handling systems allow for information handling systems to be general or configured for a specific user or specific use such as financial transaction processing, airline reservations, enterprise data storage, or global communications. In addition, information handling systems may include a variety of hardware and software component(s) that may be configured to process, store, and communicate information and may include one or more computer systems, data storage systems, and networking systems.
As information handling systems become more complex and the number of data queries they are required to handle increase, many information handling systems are implemented in architectures in which the responsibilities for handling those data queries are diversified. This diversification, however, requires robust management tools to effectively balance data handling responsibilities among other competing needs. Additionally, the operational context in which an information handling system operates changes frequently, corresponding to an increase in the difficulty of effectively managing the allocation of data processing responsibilities.
