Abstract: A virtualized storage system comprises at least one host, at least one virtual array, a backend array and a management server. The host requests storage operations to the virtual array, and the virtual array executes storage operations for the host. The backend array, coupled to the virtual array, comprises physical storage for the virtual array. The management server determines the efficiency for the virtual array. The management server determines an input throughput data rate between the host and the virtual array based on storage operations between host and virtual array. The management server also determines an output throughput data rate, from the virtual array to the backend array. The output throughput data rate is based on the storage operations that require access to the backend array. The management server determines the efficiency of the virtual array using the input throughput data rate and the output throughput data rate.

Abstract translation: 虚拟化存储系统包括至少一个主机，至少一个虚拟阵列，后端阵列和管理服务器。 主机向虚拟阵列请求存储操作，虚拟阵列执行主机的存储操作。 耦合到虚拟阵列的后端阵列包括虚拟阵列的物理存储。 管理服务器确定虚拟阵列的效率。 管理服务器根据主机和虚拟阵列之间的存储操作确定主机与虚拟阵列之间的输入吞吐量数据速率。 管理服务器还确定从虚拟阵列到后端阵列的输出吞吐量数据速率。 输出吞吐量数据速率基于需要访问后端阵列的存储操作。 管理服务器使用输入吞吐量数据速率和输出吞吐量数据速率来确定虚拟阵列的效率。
