Embodiments of the present invention provide an integrated methodology that simplifies upgrade choices for complex computer products through the use of automation and integration of product monitoring and business applications with, for example, web based capabilities. Historical information for computer systems is collected and transmitted to a remote support system. Over time, sufficient historical data provides a historical view of the systems indicative of usage and facilitating the choice of product enhancements, upgrades and customization. Further, this historical view may be integrated with the advances in the product that are kept by the remote support system as well as with the performance requirements of third party application providers.

What is claimed is: 1. A method of operating a computerized system to provide computer recommendation information, comprising: generating an operation profile for a computer using machine performance information specific to the computer and obtained from the computer, wherein the operation profile
What is claimed is: 1. A method of operating a computerized system to provide computer recommendation information, comprising: generating an operation profile for a computer using machine performance information specific to the computer and obtained from the computer, wherein the operation profile indicates at least a usage trend for the computer; prior to generating the operation profile, receiving, at first timed intervals, the machine performance information from the computer via a network connection, wherein the machine performance information is collected at second timed intervals, shorter than the first timed intervals, by the computer; determining projected computer system requirements based on the usage trend for the computer and obtained from the computer; and generating a recommendation of system resources, which satisfies at least the projected requirements. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein generating the recommendation comprises processing system requirements specifications reflecting a desired future use of the computer. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein generating the recommendation comprises returning web based content to a web client. 4. The method of claim 1, further comprising receiving a purchase order for the at least one computer system solution. 5. The method of claim 1, further comprising allowing a user to iteratively modify the recommendation. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein generating the recommendation comprises processing system requirements specifications selected by a user from a plurality of system options available at a network address. 7. The method of claim 6, wherein the plurality of system options are provided by a plurality of third party solution providers. 8. The method of claim 1, further comprising configuring the at least one computer system solution to indicate system specifications and a price. 9. The method of claim 8, further comprising: providing product options and associated prices to a user for selection; receiving a product option selection from the user for at least one of the product options; and outputting a starting configuration for the at least one computer system solution. 10. The method of claim 9, further comprising: receiving a configuration selection from the user to modify the starting configuration; determining whether the configuration selection is valid; and if so, producing a configured system viewable by the user. 11. The method of claim 10, further comprising receiving a purchase order for the configured system. 12. The method of claim 1, further comprising allowing a user to modify the recommendation to produce a modified computer system solution. 13. The method of claim 12, further comprising: configuring the modified computer system solution to indicate system specifications and a price; and receiving a purchase order for the configured modified computer system solution. 14. The method of claim 12, further comprising receiving a purchase order for the modified computer system solution. 15. A method of operating a computerized system to provide computer recommendation information for a plurality of computers, comprising: receiving machine performance information for the plurality of computers and obtained from the plurality of computers; storing the machine performance information to a history database; generating an operation profile for each computer using machine performance information specific to the respective computer and obtained from the respective computer, wherein the operation profile indicates at least a history profile and a usage trend for the respective computer; receiving system requirements specifications reflecting workload requirements for the respective computer and obtained from the respective computer not accounted for in the machine performance information; determining projected computer system requirements based on the history profile, the usage trend of the plurality of computers and the received system requirements specifications for the computer; and generating a recommendation of system resources, comprising at least one computer system solution, which satisfies the projected requirements. 16. The method of claim 15, wherein generating the recommendation comprises returning web based content to a web client. 17. The method of claim 15, wherein the history database is operated by one of a manufacturer of the computers and a seller of the computers. 18. The method of claim 15, further comprising allowing a user to iteratively modify the recommendation to produce a modified computer system solution. 19. The method of claim 15, further comprising: providing product options and associated prices to a user for selection; receiving a product option selection from the user for at least one of the product options; and outputting a starting configuration for the at least one computer system solution. 20. The method of claim 19, further comprising: receiving a configuration selection from the user to modify the starting configuration; determining whether the configuration selection is valid; and if so, producing a configured system output viewable by the user. 21. The method of claim 15, further comprising configuring the at least one computer system solution to indicate system specifications and a price. 22. The method of claim 21, further comprising receiving a purchase order for the modified computer system solution. 23. The method of claim 15, further comprising allowing a user to modify the recommendation to produce a modified computer system solution. 24. The method of claim 23, further comprising determining a price for the modified computer system solution. 25. The method of claim 24, receiving a purchase order for the modified computer system solution.
