1. A system for managing a set of assets, wherein each asset in the set of assets includes a particular application for a user in a shared pool of configurable computing resources having a set of virtual machines, the system comprising: a memory having a set of computer readable computer instructions, and a processor for executing the set of computer readable instructions, the set of computer readable instructions including: monitoring asset activity data for the user across both the shared pool of configurable computing resources and the set of virtual machines; establishing a set of usage data for the user, the set of usage data corresponding to a usage of an asset by the user, the set of usage data including asset usage by the user for a temporal period below a threshold value, the set of usage data further including asset activity data for the user across both the shared pool of configurable computing resources and the set of virtual machines, wherein the establishing the set of usage data includes creating a user profile for the user, the user profile including a dependency catalog; determining, based on the set of usage data for the user, an asset action for the asset for the user on at least one of the set of virtual machines, wherein the determining the asset action for the asset includes: determining asset dependency relationship and user dependency relationship from the dependency catalog; determining usage score based on the asset usage by the user for the temporal period below the threshold value and the asset activity data for the user; and determining that the asset dependency relationship, user dependency relationship, and usage score meet a criterion for the asset action; selecting, in response to determining the asset action for the asset, the asset action for the asset for the user on the at least one of the set of virtual machines; and performing the asset action for the asset for the user on the at least one of the set of virtual machines, wherein the asset action is selected from the group consisting of: preventing an installation of the asset for the user, removing the asset for the user, and hibernating the asset for the user on the at least one of the set of virtual machines.
