1. A method for managing data processing systems, the method comprising:
obtaining use data for a storage device and diagnostic data for the storage device, the storage device being part of one of the data processing systems;
obtaining, using the use data, predicted future use data for each future date of a set of future dates;
obtaining, using the use data and the predicted future use data for one future date of the set of the future dates, a use quantification;
obtaining, using the use quantification and the diagnostic data, a prediction regarding operation of the storage device for the one future date of the set of the future dates;
making a determination regarding whether the prediction indicates failure in the operation of the storage device by the one future date of the set of the future dates; and
in a first instance of the determination where the prediction indicates the failure in the operation of the storage device by the one future date of the set of the future dates:
performing a proactive action set to manage a predicted impact of the failure in the operation on the storage device by the one future date of the set of future dates.
