Abstract: The disclosed computer-implemented method may include identifying a personal mobility vehicle that is available to reserve for a trip, determining that at least one metric for a level of maintenance for the personal mobility vehicle indicates a need for performing the maintenance on the personal mobility vehicle, determining at least one metric for an operations effort for performing the maintenance at a current location of the personal mobility vehicle, and blocking use of the personal mobility vehicle, to facilitate the operations effort for the performing of the maintenance, based at least in part on the metric for the level of maintenance and at least in part on the metric for the operations effort indicating an advantage to performing the maintenance at the current location. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

Abstract: A method for managing allocation of data sets among A plurality of storage devices of a computing apparatus such that the data set are allocated to a storage device whose uncommitted storage volume and access capability most nearly meet the requirement of the particular data set and the data sets are further allocated in such a way that access activity to the data sets will be distributed substantially uniformly across all the storage devices. The method comprises the steps of:(1) monitoring and recording data set access activity as a function of time:(2) calculating the data storage factor of each data set;(3) calculating a machine storage factor of each storage device;(4) calculating the residual storage factor of each storage device;(5) allocating the data set to a storage device that has sufficient available space and whose residual storage factor most nearly matches and exceeds the data storage factor of the data set being allocated.

Abstract: A storage device, such as a direct access storage device, is partitioned into a plurality of partitioned devices having different access and storage characteristics matched to the required perforamnce. Data may be stored on that partitioned device which most nearly meets the storage characteristics of the data, where the access and storage characteristics of data are related to its volume and frequency of access.
