Abstract: Facilitating monitoring of service processors associated with a data storage system is provided herein. A system can include a monitoring component and an interpretation component. The monitoring component monitors a service processor that controls one or more functions for a data storage system. The monitoring component also generates trend data indicative of trend information for the service processor. The interpretation component performs one or more actions associated with the data storage system in response to a determination that the trend data satisfies a set of defined criteria associated with monitored conditions for the data storage system.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus are provided for database migration. Source databases are migrated to a target data environment by receiving a user selection of one or more of the source databases; receiving a user selection of a target data environment profile; receiving a user selection of one or more storage options for the target data environment; and providing the user with an assessment of whether one or more of the selected source databases can be one or more of migrated and consolidated to the selected target data environment. A user can specify a backup and recovery profile for the migrated database. Metadata affinity can optionally be analyzed for a plurality of the selected source databases to identify an affinity correlation across the selected source databases. Scripts and/or transform blueprints can be generated for the selected target data environment (optionally based on rule-based best practices).

Abstract: An apparatus comprises a profiled data object service manager configured to generate at least one profiled data object service instantiation responsive to an invocation by a profiled data object service user. The profiled data object service manager comprises a profiled data object service reasoner configured to parse the user invocation, to map the parsed user invocation to one or more relevant profiled data objects using profiles of respective profiled data objects and relationships among multiple profiled data objects, to select one or more services to be instantiated based on the relevant profiled data objects, and to generate one or more instantiable service invocations for the one or more selected services. Additional functionality of the profiled data object service manager may comprise one or more of policy enforcement, service instantiation and service orchestration. The service manager is implemented using at least one processing device comprising a processor coupled to a memory.

Abstract: A database system is provided with user-directed application-side storage tiering control functionality. A database node of a database system comprises a daemon to communicate with a plurality of storage devices on a plurality of storage tiers of the database system; the daemon further configured to implement storage tiering control functionality based on a user-specified data selection and tier imperative for at least first and second storage tiers comprising respective disjoint subsets of the plurality of storage tiers. An application executing on the database node provides the user-specified data selection and tier imperative to the daemon for processing in response to a predefined keyword. The daemon performs the storage tiering control functionality in response to a programmatic call comprising one or more predefined keywords, such as predefined base command verbs, tier imperative keywords and/or environmental qualifiers.
