ABSTRACT:
A technique of allocating shared resources in a computer network-based storage system comprises taking periodic performance samples on a running storage system; evaluating an objective function that takes as input the performance samples to quantify how aligned a current state of the storage system is with organizational objectives; building and maintaining models of behavior and capabilities of the storage system by using the performance samples as input; determining how resources of the storage system should be allocated among client computers in the storage system by selecting one among many possible allocations based on predictions generated by the models in order to maximize a value of the objective function; calculating a confidence statistic value for a chosen resource allocation based on an accuracy of the models; and enforcing the chosen resource allocation on the running storage system when the confidence statistic value is at or above a predetermined threshold value.
