Abstract: A storage array for providing data storage services includes persistent storage and a storage array manager. The persistent storage stores data. The storage array manager obtains a request for solicited data using a request queue corresponding to a requesting host; responds, based on the solicited data, to the request using a response queue corresponding to the requesting host; makes a determination that the request implicates multiple hosts; and in response to the determination: distributes unsolicited data, based on the request, to the multiple hosts using the data stored in the persistent storage.

Abstract: A storage array for providing data storage services includes persistent storage that stores approved preferences and a storage array manager that obtains event-response preferences for hosts receiving the data storage services; predicts, based on the event-response preferences, a set of additional event-response preferences for a host of the hosts; predicts an additional event-response preference for a host of the hosts based on a request associated with a second host of the hosts; generates a heat map for the host based on: the event-response preferences, the set of additional event-response preferences, the additional event-response preference, and global event-response preferences that associate events with responses for all of the hosts; identifies a final set of event-response preferences for the host using the heat map; updates the approved preferences based on the final set of event-response preferences; and provides unsolicited data to the host based on the updated approved preferences.
