摘要:
Data storage devices of an enterprise system are tested to determine whether the enterprise system is optimally configured. Each data storage device is tested to determine whether it can satisfy a performance requirement for an assigned group of n workloads. A group of n inequalities are generated, and only up to n of the inequalities may be evaluated to determine whether the device satisfies the performance requirement for the assigned group of workloads. The inequalities are based on a phased, correlated model of I/O activity.
摘要:
An apparatus for and a method of multi-dimensional constraint optimization in a storage system configuration. In accordance with the primary aspect of the present invention, the objective function for a storage system is determined the workload units are selected and their standards are determined, and the storage devices are selected and their characteristics are determined. These selections and determinations are then used by a constraint based solver through constraint integer optimization to generate an assignment plan for the workload units to the storage devices.
