Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide for improved data processing using interconnected variational autoencoder models, which may be used for any of a myriad of purposes. Some embodiments specially train the interconnected variational autoencoder models by utilizing different training scenarios corresponding to presence and/or absence of particular data in a training data set. Particular encoder(s) and/or decoder(s) from the specially trained interconnected variational autoencoder models may then be utilized to improve accuracy of the desired data processing tasks, for example, to generate particular output data.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for providing simulation of a SAN environment. Input provided by a user is used for hosts and arrays for determining switch fabrics. Connectivity and zoning can be determined with assigned storage. Events can be triggered to simulate operations in the SAN environment.
