    Abstract: Operations are monitored that involve a plurality of servers coupled to a plurality of data storage enclosures via a rack-level, storage networking fabric. The servers are operable to provide data storage services utilizing the data storage enclosures via a network. The data storage enclosures each have one or more data storage devices. The servers and the data storage enclosures are mounted within a data center rack. A failed unit determined that includes a failed one of the servers or a failed one of the data storage devices within a selected one of the data storage enclosures. A replacement is found for the failed unit within the data center rack, and the replacement is established for the failed unit within the data center rack. The establishment of the replacement involves establishing a new connection via the storage networking fabric.

    Abstract: A data storage erasure system may have a host connected to a plurality of data storage devices via a network controller with each of the plurality of data storage devices and the network controller connected to a pods controller and each of the plurality of the data storage devices having a device controller. A rebuild strategy can be generated with a rebuild module connected to the plurality of data storage devices, the network controller, and the pods controller. The rebuild strategy may be directed to minimize data rebuild times in the event of a failure in the plurality of data storage devices by executing the rebuild strategy in response to a detected or predicted failure in at least one data storage device of the plurality of data storage devices.
