Patent number: 11474877Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a computer system and a scale-out method of the computer system that can reduce the possibility of occurrence of performance deterioration in the case where cloud bursting is executed. In the case where scale-out is executed in a public cloud, a data processing system starts a data copy process of copying data stored in an on-premises first data storage area, to a second data storage area of a storage cluster in the public cloud via a first network. When starting the data copy process, the data processing system executes the scale-out by increasing the number of processing nodes while accessing the data stored in the first data storage area.Type: GrantFiled: February 18, 2022Date of Patent: October 18, 2022Assignee: HITACHI, LTD.Inventors: Kiyomi Wada, Shinichi Hayashi

Patent number: 10977082Abstract: A resource allocation system calculates a performance ratio and a cost for each of a plurality of service tiers. For each of the service tiers, the performance ratio is a ratio of the intended performance to an agreement performance, the agreement performance is a performance that serves as a reference performance of the service tier, the intended performance is a performance calculated for the service tier, and the cost is based on a used capacity of an allocated storage resource among the storage resources belonging to the service tier. The system displays a service tier map that has an axis corresponding to the performance ratio and a second axis orthogonal to the axis and corresponding to the cost. A display object is placed, for each service tier, at a position according to the calculated performance ratio and the calculated cost of the service tier on the service tier map.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2019Date of Patent: April 13, 2021Assignee: HITACHI, LTD.Inventors: Kiyomi Wada, Shinichi Hayashi, Tomohiro Morimura

Patent number: 10904159Abstract: It is necessary to allocate sufficient surplus resources to each service in order to maintain a service level of each service, but, as a result, many resources which are not used may be necessary. A resource allocation optimizing system performs, with respect to each of a plurality of services, a predictive judgement which is a determination of whether or not accurate prediction of a workload of the service is able to be anticipated, and controls allocation of a resource to the service on the basis of a result of the predictive judgement. With respect to each service, the predictive judgement is performed on the basis of at least one of (x) time-series measured workloads and time-series predicted workloads in a predefined period for the service and (y) at least one of a measured service level and a predicted service level in the predefined period for the service.Type: GrantFiled: September 10, 2018Date of Patent: January 26, 2021Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Kiyomi Wada, Hironori Emaru, Mineyoshi Masuda

Publication number: 20160080229Abstract: A response time of an access to an application is monitored, and, when a trouble may occur, an alert is given to an administrator to reduce a workload on the administrator. A response time of the application is measured, a request in which the response time exceeds a reference value is extracted, and exceeding requests are aggregated in units of predetermined time widths. An interval between adjacent time bands in which the exceeding requests are present is calculated to determine a periodical tendency of occurrence of exceeding. An alert having a level depending on the tendency is output.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 11, 2014Publication date: March 17, 2016Applicant: HITACHI, LTD.Inventors: Emiko KOBAYASHI, Kiyomi WADA
