Abstract: An approach is provided in which a storage system detects that an extent residing on a first one of a set of physical storage devices requires relocation. The storage system identifies a set of backend connection properties of each of a set of backend connections between the storage system and the set of physical storage devices. The set of backend connection properties includes at least a connection bandwidth between the storage system and at least one of the physical storage devices. In turn, the storage system relocates the extent from the first physical storage device to a second one of the set of physical storage devices based at least in part, on the set of backend connection properties.

Abstract: A self-learning 5G cognitive emergency-management system responds to a triggering condition by instructing a network to open an ad hoc channel to Internet of Things (IoT) devices associated with a mass assembly of users. The system begins tracking the movements of the assembly members by performing trilateration procedures on each user's IoT device. Using artificial intelligence or cognitive analytics, the system identifies and correlates patterns in the aggregated movements of the assembly with other tracked parameters received from the IoT devices and with contextual information retrieved from extrinsic sources. The system infers aggregated user sentiment from these correlations and determines whether the movements or sentiment suggest that an unexpected event is having an adverse impact on the assembly. If so, the system takes corrective action, such as notifying an emergency-management resource or transmitting information or instructions to the assembly members.
