    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: 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.

    摘要: Embodiments of the present invention provide lifecycle storage management for data within a Cloud computing environment. Specifically, a set of policies can be defined that allow for automatic valuation of the data and migration of the data between a set of storage tiers. Before a policy set is deployed, it can be assessed to determine effects it will have on cost, performance, and data location. Based on data characteristics and access patterns, a set of policy recommendations can be provided that predict the value of the data over time, and offer an improved migration strategy for moving the data between the set of storage tiers as the value of the data changes.
