Abstract: Embodiments for storage resource utilization analytics using metadata tags by a processor. Storage capacity utilization in the plurality of heterogeneous storage systems may be determined using one or more events indexed into a centralized search index.

Abstract: Provided are a computer program product, system, and method for backing up data from a plurality of source data sets to a backup storage. Event messages are received. Each event message indicates an update to a changed data object in one of the source data sets. The event messages are added to at least one message queue. The event messages are read in the at least one message queue. A record is added to a database for each of the read event messages. Records added to the database include information on changed data objects. The database is queried to determine records for changed data objects that satisfy a backup criteria. The changed data objects in at least one of the source data sets that satisfy the backup criteria are copied to the backup storage.

Abstract: Embodiments for namespace management between storage systems by a processor. Events, containing metadata associated with an operation, from a plurality of heterogeneous storage systems may be received such that the events are indexed into a common repository according to the metadata to maintain a single namespace for data in the plurality of heterogeneous storage systems.

Abstract: The method, computer program product and computer system of the present invention may include a computing device that replicates data from a first data storage site, which may have a plurality of data storage tiers, to one or more second data storage sites. The computing device may identify a portion of the data on a first tier of the first data storage site to be inactive and move the inactive data to a second tier of the first data storage site. The computing device may compute a number of slices to slice the inactive data into and a location to store the slices of inactive data using an information dispersal algorithm. The computing device may send the computed number of slices and storage location for the inactive data to the one or more second data storage sites to apply to the data replicated from the first data storage site.

Abstract: Embodiments for triggering custom metadata extraction by a processor. Information may be extracted from an event so as to access data across a plurality of heterogeneous storage systems. Metadata may be extracted from the data that is accessed such that the metadata is assigned as custom metadata and indexed into a centralized search index, wherein the custom metadata is correlated to existing metadata associated with the data in the centralized search index.
