Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An administrator of an enterprise storage set may be tasked with storing a large number and variety of data sets on a large number and variety of storage components. However, the manual selection of a physical schema by an administrator may be time-consuming, may generate inefficient physical schemata, and may not be easily reevaluated as the data sets and storage set change. Presented herein are techniques for automatically determining a physical schema by comparing the storage factors of each data set (e.g., data size, relationships with other data sets, and usages of the data set by users) with the storage capabilities of the storage components, selecting a suitable storage component, and implementing the storage of the data set on the storage component. An embodiment of these techniques may thereby achieve an automated identification of a physical schema with improved efficiency and flexibility of the physical schema while conserving administrative resources.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method of storing a data set that is associated with an associated data set, the data set having at least one storage factor in a storage set comprising at least two storage components respectively having at least one storage capability on a device having a processor and a storage catalog, the method comprising: executing on the processor instructions configured to: identify at least one storage factor of the data set; among the storage components, sele…
