  • Patent number: 10228856
    Abstract: A storage space management system for a thin provisioned virtual environment may comprise an over-allocation computation engine to compute an over-allocation metric for a virtual datastore. The over-allocation metric may be computed based on virtual storage space allocated to corresponding virtual machines and actual physical storage allocated to the virtual datastore. Further, the over-allocation metric may indicate extent of over-allocation of the actual physical storage to the virtual datastore. An available space computation engine may determine an available space metric for the virtual machines based on available datastore space and available physical storage space. An analysis engine may obtain a time value indicating time left within which storage space available for the virtual machines would be utilized.

  • Publication number: 20170222908
    Abstract: In an example implementation, a network topology map with storage paths between servers and storage volumes of storage arrays in a storage network through network switches may be generated. A network switch may be identified from the network switches in the network topology map as a bottleneck by monitoring a performance parameter for each of the network switches. The performance parameter is indicative of I/O load at a port of a respective network switch. Storage volumes in the network topology map and connected to the bottlenecked network switch may be identified, and storage volume I/O metrics associated with each of the servers with respect to the identified storage volumes may be aggregated. Based on the aggregated storage volume I/O metrics, at least one of the servers may be determined as a candidate for a root-cause of the bottleneck.

  • Publication number: 20170222886
    Abstract: In one example, at least one storage usage category for a storage volume identified for metering is determined. The at least one storage usage category may indicate how the storage volume operates to store data over a networked computing environment. Once the at least one storage usage category is determined, a usage value for the storage volume of the at least one storage usage category is obtained, wherein the usage value provides a measure of usage of the storage volume.

  • Publication number: 20130212134
    Abstract: A system is provided that includes a plurality of storage network devices and a storage manager communicatively coupled to the plurality of storage network devices. The storage manager includes a discovery engine configured to collect configuration information from the plurality of storage network devices. The system also includes an object model that represents the storage network system and is updated based on the configuration information collected by the discovery engine. The system also includes a mapping file that guides the discovery engine during an update of the object model. The discovery engine is triggered to perform a limited update of the object model upon the completion of a storage management operation.

  • Publication number: 20050272444
    Abstract: The invention concerns a method (300) for directing users to coverage. The method includes the steps of detecting (314) when a signal strength parameter of a mobile unit (112) falls below a predetermined threshold, acquiring (316) positional information about the mobile unit and directing (322) a user of the mobile unit to a reestablishing coverage area (110) that has a signal strength that would cause the signal strength parameter to meet the predetermined threshold. In addition, the method can include the step of calculating (320) positional parameters between the mobile unit and the reestablishing coverage area in which the reestablishing coverage area is a coverage area (110) that is physically closest to the mobile unit in comparison to other coverage areas.
