SYSTEMS, METHODS, AND DEVICES FOR PARTITION MANAGEMENT OF STORAGE RESOURCES - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18376436 titled 'SYSTEMS, METHODS, AND DEVICES FOR PARTITION MANAGEMENT OF STORAGE RESOURCES

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method for operating a storage system that involves allocating storage resources to different clients based on their workload. The system operates with a tier of storage resources that functions as a storage cache. The method includes monitoring the workload of each client and reallocating the storage resources based on the monitored workload.

  • The method involves allocating storage resources to different clients based on their workload.
  • The storage system operates with a tier of storage resources that functions as a storage cache.
  • The workload of each client is monitored to determine the allocation of storage resources.
  • The first partition of the storage resources is reallocated to the first client based on the workload of both the first and second clients.
  • The second partition of the storage resources is reallocated to the second client based on the workload of both the first and second clients.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Cloud storage systems: The method can be applied to allocate storage resources to different clients in a cloud storage system, optimizing resource allocation based on workload.
  • Content delivery networks: The method can be used to allocate storage resources to different nodes in a content delivery network, improving the efficiency of content delivery based on workload.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Efficient resource allocation: The method solves the problem of inefficient resource allocation by dynamically reallocating storage resources based on the workload of each client.
  • Workload balancing: The method helps in balancing the workload across different clients by reallocating storage resources as needed.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved performance: By dynamically reallocating storage resources based on workload, the method can improve the performance of the storage system by ensuring that each client has the appropriate amount of resources.
  • Optimal resource utilization: The method optimizes resource utilization by allocating storage resources based on the workload of each client, preventing underutilization or overutilization of resources.


Original Abstract Submitted

A method of operating a storage system may include allocating a first partition of a tier of storage resources to a first client, wherein the tier operates at least partially as a storage cache, allocating a second partition of the tier of the storage resources to a second client, monitoring a workload of the first client, monitoring a workload of the second client, and reallocating the first partition of the tier of the storage resources to the first client based on the monitored workload of the first client and the monitored workload of the second client. The method may further include reallocating the second partition of the tier of the storage resources to the second client based on the monitored workload of the first client and the monitored workload of the second client.
