Storage resource management employing performance analytics

摘要

Performance of a computing system is improved by avoiding and/or eliminating overload conditions in storage systems. Performance utilization calculations are used to predict that a candidate placement configuration of storage resources within the storage systems will avoid overload conditions. The performance utilization calculations use performance profiles in conjunction with workload profiles to account for both storage system performance and actual workload traffic. Performance utilization calculations can also be used to report storage controller utilization information.
