  • Patent number: 11941284
    Abstract: It is possible to reduce analysis cost of a management system. The management system includes a CPU and manages one or more storage devices that provide, to a higher-level device, one or more volumes for inputting and outputting data. The CPU is configured to collect performance information of the volume from the storage device at a predetermined first time interval and detect a QoS violation of the performance information of the volume at a second time interval longer than the first time interval.

  • Patent number: 11920059
    Abstract: A coating material is allowed to contain a sulfate having a higher degree of solubility in water than that of calcium sulfate. The sulfate is an additive for coating materials which is used for reducing the consumption of zinc (including zinc oxide) in a coating film formed from the coating material and the corrosion of a base material when the coating film is scratched. The content of the sulfate can be 0.004 to 0.65 mol per 100 g of the content of zinc. Alternatively, the content of the sulfate may be 0.006 to 0.186 mol per 100 g of a heating residue (except for the sulfate added) of a coating film.
