PUBLISHING CONFIGURATION PATTERNS FOR STORAGE RESOURCES AND STORAGE PERFORMANCE MODELS FROM CLIENT SYSTEMS TO SHARE WITH CLIENT SYSTEMS IN A NETWORK COMPUTING ENVIRONMENT

摘要

Provided are a method, system and program for publishing configuration patterns for storage resources and storage performance models from client systems to share with client systems in a network computing environment. A determination is made of a configuration pattern of storage resources within the client computing environment and storage performance metrics for the configuration pattern of storage resources within the client. At least one storage performance model is created based on the determined storage performance metrics. Information on the at least one storage performance model and the configuration pattern of the storage resources for which the storage performance metrics were determined are published to the service provider.
