Abstract: Various embodiments are generally directed to techniques for dynamic diagnosis and/or prediction of trouble events in a storage cluster system and automated selection of solutions thereto. An apparatus includes a retrieval component to, in response to a trouble event with a first component of a storage cluster system at a usage level under a first usage type, retrieve a component model of a second component associated with a second usage type from a model database, wherein the second usage type comprises operations that differ from operations of the first usage type by no more than a predetermined threshold of difference; and a selection component to apply the first usage level to the component model to derive a resulting level of performance and determine whether to recommend installation of the second component in the first storage cluster system to address the trouble event based on the resulting level of performance.
