  • Output performance trends of a mass storage system
    Patent number: 7171338
    Abstract: A method for measuring mass storage system performance in which the mass storage system has a plurality of disk drive storage elements controlled by a disk drive controller, the controller typically having a cache memory, and the controller receiving commands and data from and returning at least data to a plurality of host computers, provides the flexibility of issuing commands to the controller in a variety of different configurations from a plurality of hosts in a time synchronized and organized fashion. Some significant data reduction techniques control and organize the data for later analysis according to the invention. Effective presentation of collected data can be effected using a novel trends analysis presentation approach.

  • Post test data processing of a mass storage system
    Patent number: 6865514
    Abstract: A method for measuring mass storage system performance in which the mass storage system has a plurality of disk drive storage elements controlled by a disk drive controller, the controller typically having a cache memory, and the controller receiving commands and data from and returning at least data to a plurality of host computers, provides the flexibility of issuing commands to the controller in a variety of different configurations from a plurality of hosts in a time synchronized and organized fashion. Some significant post processing techniques for validation and correction of the data are enabled according to the invention.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: March 8, 2005
    Assignee: EMC Corporation
    Inventors: Kenneth R. Goguen, Maureen A. Lally, Peter C. Lauterbach, Paul F. Hale
  • Graphical user input interface for testing performance of a mass storage system
    Patent number: 6845344
    Abstract: A method for measuring mass storage system performance in which the mass storage system has a plurality of disk drive storage elements controlled by a disk drive controller, the controller typically having a cache memory, and the controller receiving commands and data from and returning at least data to a plurality of host computers, provides the flexibility of issuing commands to the controller in a variety of different configurations from a plurality of hosts in a time synchronized and organized fashion. Some significant data reduction techniques control and organize the data for later analysis according to the invention. Time delays and different configurations of both host and storage elements can be effected easily using a novel graphical user interface.
