Data storage system with self tuning based on cluster analysis of workload features

A data storage system includes a tuner that obtains data samples for data storage operations of workloads and calculates feature measures for a set of features of the data storage operations over aggregation intervals of an operating period. It further (1) applies a cluster analysis to the feature m...

Zusammenfassung:A data storage system includes a tuner that obtains data samples for data storage operations of workloads and calculates feature measures for a set of features of the data storage operations over aggregation intervals of an operating period. It further (1) applies a cluster analysis to the feature measures to define a set of clusters, and assigns the feature measures to the clusters, and (2) applies a classification analysis to the feature measures labelled by their clusters to identify dominating features of each cluster, and generates workload profiles for the clusters based on the dominating features, and then automatically adjusts configurable processing mechanisms (e.g., caching or tiering) based on the workload profiles and performance or efficiency goals.
