ABSTRACT:
Dynamic price performance enhancement features and scheduling ranges of input/output performance operating categories and settings for storage solutions are provided by a seller to a purchaser via a program running either remotely on the seller's host system over a communications network or locally on a general purpose computer processor in a tape storage library device. The purchaser is prompted by the seller's system to identify storage device requirements and price constraints. The seller's system provides storage performance operating solutions and negotiates a suitable match between the seller's storage solutions and the purchaser's storage requirements and price constraints. The seller's system finalizes the design of the storage solution and provides a pool of license keys that unlock the storage performance solutions in the tape storage library device that match the purchaser's storage performance requirements and price constraints.
