Method and apparatus for allocation of power consumption of a computer storage system to its tenants

摘要

Example embodiments of the present invention provide a method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for determining power consumption of a computer storage system attributable to an application. The method includes obtaining metadata relating to power consumption of a computer storage system and obtaining metadata relating to storage configuration of the computer storage system. Storage utilization of the computer system attributable to an application is then determined and a transformation is performed according to the metadata relating to power consumption of the computer storage system, the metadata relating to storage configuration of the computer storage system, and the storage utilization of the computer storage system attributable to the application.
