Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Methods and systems for enabling sizing of storage array resources are provided. Resources of a storage array can include, for example, cache, memory, SSD cache, central processing unit (CPU), storage capacity, number of hard disk drives (HDD), etc. Generally, methods and systems are provided that enable efficient predictability of sizing needs for said storage resources using historical storage array use and configuration metadata, which is gathered over time from an install base of storage arrays. This metadata is processed to produce models that are used to predict resource sizing needs to be implemented in storage arrays with certainty that takes into account customer-to-customer needs and variability. The efficiency in which the sizing assessment is made further provides significant value because it enables streamlining and acceleration of the provisioning process for storage arrays.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1 . A method for sizing solid state drive (SSD) cache to be used in a storage array, the method comprising: providing access to a database that stores metadata received from storage arrays, the metadata being for operational parameters produced when the storage arrays are in operation, the operational parameters further relate to applications served by the storage arrays over time and hardware configurations of the storage arrays that include sizes of SSD cac…
