System and method of establishing and reconfiguring volume profiles in a storage system

摘要

A method of predictive baseline volume profile creation for new volumes in a networked storage system and a system for dynamically reevaluating system performance and needs to create an optimized and efficient use of system resources by changing volume profiles as necessary. The system gathers statistical data and analyzes the information through algorithms to arrive at an optimal configuration for volume clusters. Clusters are then reallocated and reassigned to match the ideal system configuration for that point in time. The system continually reevaluates and readjusts its performance to meet throughput requirements specified in the quality of service agreement.
