Server Availability (SA) is an important measure of overall systems security. Important security systems rely on the availability of their hosting servers to deliver critical security services. Many of these servers offer management interface through web mainly using an Apache server. This paper investigates the increase of Server Availability by the use of Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) to predict software aging phenomenon. Several resource usage data is collected and analyzed on a typical long-running software system (a web server). A Multi-Layer Perceptron feed forward Artificial Neural Network was trained on an Apache web server data-set to predict future server resource exhaustion through uni-variate time series forecasting. The results were benchmarked against those obtained from non-parametric statistical techniques, parametric time series models and empirical modeling techniques reported in the literature.
