    摘要: Management of a planner through use of a middleware layer. A computer system is configured with the middleware layer in communication with both a planner and a data repository. One or more modules are provided in the middleware layer to support the functionality of the planner. Application program interface calls are employed to call the modules, thereby mitigating duplication of the functionality in separate planners.

    摘要: Embodiments of the invention relate to creating and maintaining consistent data sets in a shared pool of configurable computer resources to support disaster recovery support. Data from an application is stored in local data storage and replicated to another data storage. A consistency point of the data is created in both of the data storage, with the consistency point representing an identical data set at a point-in-time. Based upon the created consistency points, a consistent set of application data may be requested to support a read operation for a migrated application.

    摘要: A policy-based resource management system provides an infrastructure that uses high-level definitions of data-types along with desired policy rules to manage legacy data. In particular, relevant legacy data is identified as well as the characteristics of storage devices where the legacy data resides. The storage management system determines what if any of the legacy data is stored in a manner that is non-compliant with the policy rules and corrects any violations. It generates corrective action plans, and then uses existing data migration software to migrate the data. Accordingly, the legacy data may be managed in a policy-based manner without requiring typical storage management software.

    摘要: An approach for automatic storage planning and provisioning within a clustered computing environment is provided. Planning input for a set of storage area network volume controllers (SVCs) will be received within the clustered computing environment, the planning input indicating a potential load on the SVCs and its associated components. Analytical models (e.g., from vendors) can be also used that allow for a load to be accurately estimated on the storage components. Configuration data for a set of storage components (i.e., the set of SVCs, a set of managed disk (Mdisk) groups associated with the set of SVCs, and a set of backend storage systems) will also be collected. Based on this configuration data, the set of storage components will be filtered to identify candidate storage components capable of addressing the potential load. Then, performance data for the candidate storage components will be analyzed to identify an SVC and an Mdisk group to address the potential load.

    摘要: Embodiments of the present invention provide an approach for adapting an information extraction middleware for a clustered computing environment (e.g., a cloud environment) by creating and managing a set of statistical models generated from performance statistics of operating devices within the clustered computing environment. This approach takes into account the required accuracy in modeling, including computation cost of modeling, to pick the best modeling solution at a given point in time. When higher accuracy is desired (e.g., nearing workload saturation), the approach adapts to use an appropriate modeling algorithm. Adapting statistical models to the data characteristics ensures optimal accuracy with minimal computation time and resources for modeling. This approach provides intelligent selective refinement of models using accuracy-based and operating probability-based triggers to optimize the clustered computing environment, i.e., maximize accuracy and minimize computation time.

    摘要: The present invention proactively identifies hotspots in a cloud computing environment through cloud resource usage models that use workload parameters as inputs. In some embodiments the cloud resource usage models are based upon performance data from cloud resources and time series based workload trend models. Hotspots may occur and can be detected at any layer of the cloud computing environment, including the server, storage, and network level. In a typical embodiment, parameters for a workload are identified in the cloud computing environment and inputted into a cloud resource usage model. The model is run with the inputted workload parameters to identify potential hotspots, and resources are then provisioned for the workload so as to avoid these hotspots.

    摘要: In general, embodiments of present invention provide an approach for calibrating a cloud computing environment. Specifically, embodiments of the present invention provide an empirical approach for obtaining end-to-end performance characteristics for workloads in the cloud computing environment (hereinafter the “environment”). In a typical embodiment, different combinations of cloud server(s) and cloud storage unit(s) are determined. Then, a virtual machine is deployed to one or more of the servers within the cloud computing environment. The virtual machine is used to generate a desired workload on a set of servers within the environment. Thereafter, performance measurements for each of the different combinations under the desired workload will be taken. Among other things, the performance measurements indicate a connection quality between the set of servers and the set of storage units, and are used in calibrating the cloud computing environment to determine future workload placement. Along these lines, the performance measurements can be populated into a table or the like, and a dynamic map of a data center having the set of storage units can be generated.
