Publication number: 20240232042Abstract: Workload from a host or a set of hosts is directed to a set of storage volumes that are formed from storage resources that are grouped together in a storage group on a storage system. The workload on the storage group impacts many components of the storage system, including front-end ports and directors, shared global memory, back-end ports and directors, and back-end storage resources. The workload may also affect systems applications such as remote data forwarding (RDF) applications that also consume storage system resources such as RDF ports and directors and shared global memory. A workload planner characterizes workloads on the storage groups and overall workloads on components of the storage system, and contains control logic configured to resolve capacity recovery across multiple components of a storage system in connection with simulated removal of a storage group from the storage system.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 11, 2023Publication date: July 11, 2024Inventors: Jason McCarthy, Girish Warrier, Rongnong Zhou

Patent number: 11847351Abstract: Storage object groups uniquely associated with respective host applications are processed to model, for each host application, the relationship between current utilized storage capacity of each host application and greatest possible utilized storage capacity of each host application without exhausting either the storage capacity of the storage system or the performance capacity of the storage system. The modeled relationships may be used to calculate headroom and performance impact scores for each host application. Storage object groups that have insufficient headroom for growth, e.g., as indicated by performance impact score, are deemed to be associated with host application workloads that are candidates for migration to a different storage system. The candidates may be ranked and selected for migration based on performance impact scores.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 2021Date of Patent: December 19, 2023Assignee: Dell Products L.P.Inventors: Jason McCarthy, Girish Warrier, Rongnong Zhou

Method and Apparatus for Automatically Resolving Headroom and Service Level Compliance Discrepancies
Publication number: 20220107739Abstract: A workload planner is used to determine headroom and SLE (Service Level Expectation) compliance of a storage system. The historical workload of the storage system over a set of monitoring intervals is obtained, and optionally a new workload to be moved to the storage system is added to the historical workload. Headroom compliance for components of the storage system, and service level expectation compliance on a per-storage group basis are determined by the workload planner. If a headroom or service level expectation violation is determined for one or more of the monitoring intervals, a set of rules are applied to selectively remove monitoring intervals from the time series. The redacted time series is then used to determine headroom and service level expectation compliance. If no violations are found, based on the redacted time series, the storage system meets headroom and SLE requirements.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 1, 2020Publication date: April 7, 2022Inventors: Jason McCarthy, Girish Warrier, Rongnong Zhou -

Patent number: 10976935Abstract: A method and apparatus for assigning an allocated workload in a data center having multiple storage systems includes selecting one or more storage systems to be assigned the allocated workload based on a combination of performance impact scores and deployment scores. By considering both performance impact and deployment effort, the allocated workload is able to be assigned with a view not only toward storage system performance, but also with a view toward how deployment on a particular storage system would comply with data center policies and the amount of configuration effort it would take to enable the workload to be implemented on the target storage system. This enables workloads to be allocated within the data center while minimizing the required amount of configuration or reconfiguration required to implement the workload allocation within the data center.Type: GrantFiled: February 11, 2020Date of Patent: April 13, 2021Assignee: EMC IP Holding Company LLCInventors: Jason McCarthy, Girish Warrier, Rongnong Zhou

Patent number: 8711734Abstract: The present invention provides a system and method for fail-safe call survival by detecting failure of an active call serving component and switching the service over to a standby component. The system and method will prevent an existing call, whether established or to be established, from being dropped due to a single point of failure within a Voice over Internet Protocol system. The continuation of the call is based on the failed component as opposed to relying on communication endpoints to re-initiate or re-route the failed call. Call recovery is initiated independent from the call path of a call. The detection of a condition or need for call recovery and the determination to initiate call recovery procedures are made without involving endpoints or intermediate points of the call. The availability and sanity of all components are continuously monitored and are tailored specifically for the duties of each component.Type: GrantFiled: June 17, 2011Date of Patent: April 29, 2014Assignee: Indosoft Inc.Inventors: Rajan Iyengar, Gabriel Bourque, Brian Evans, Jason McCarthy, James Terhune
