Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for controlling load on a server hosting block storage volumes by dynamically controlling latency for input/output (I/O) operations to the block storage volumes. The system can selectively inject synthetic latency into the I/O operations according to how the server is loaded, thus enabling control of server load. For example, when the server is overloaded, additional synthetic latency can be injected into I/O operations to counteract overloading. This synthetic latency can then be removed when the server is no longer overloaded. Modifications of synthetic latency can be targeted to individual clients, individual types of I/O operations, or both, facilitating targeted performance shaping for servers hosting block storage volumes.

Abstract: Various embodiments are generally directed to an apparatus, method and other techniques to store a first set of instructions in a first portion of the non-volatile memory, the first set of instructions to configure a second portion of the non-volatile memory, cause the processing unit to process the first set of instructions to configure the second portion with one or more regions, and cause a configuration of the memory controller based on the first set of instructions.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for creating a large-scale storage array by combining multiple mid-range storage arrays via a host based aggregation engine software application. Each mid-range storage array, also call a storage building block, consists of one or more RAID volumes. Each mid-range storage array has equivalent configuration and property settings including number of drives, RAID level, volume segment sizes, and volume cache settings, but not including the volume label. The complex combination of mid-range storage arrays appears as a single storage system to a data management application of a host computer system. Once the mid-range storage arrays are aggregated into a large-scale storage array, or storage complex array, common features may be modified as a collection of items so that a common modification need only be entered one time for all items in the collection.
