摘要: A computer-implemented method for managing datasets of a storage system is provided, wherein the datasets have respective sets of metadata, the method including: successively feeding first sets of metadata to a spiking neural network (SNN), the first sets of metadata fed corresponding to datasets of the storage system that are labeled with respect to classes they belong to, so as to be associated with class labels, for the SNN to learn representations of said classes in terms of connection weights that weight the metadata fed; successively feeding second sets of metadata to the SNN, the second sets of metadata corresponding to unlabeled datasets of the storage system, for the SNN to infer class labels for the unlabeled datasets, based on the second sets of metadata fed and the representations learned; and managing datasets in the storage system, based on class labels of the datasets, these including the inferred class labels.

摘要: A computer-implemented method is provided for managing digital datasets stored on a multi-tiered storage system that includes several tiers of storage, the datasets likely to be accessed by one or more applications interacting with the storage system. The method includes monitoring an access history of datasets accessed by the one or more applications; and while monitoring the access history: computing probabilities of access, by the one or more applications, of the datasets stored on the storage system according to metadata associated to given datasets as identified in the monitored access history; and based on the computed probabilities of access, selecting one or more of the datasets to be moved across the tiers. Related storage systems and computer program products are also provided.

摘要: A method is provided for increasing data storage reliability in a heterogeneous storage system including multiple storage devices of different types. The devices store respective data subsets of a dataset. The method includes accessing configuration parameters for the dataset including first and second amounts of the data subsets respectively stored on the multiple storage devices. The method further includes estimating an initial global reliability of the heterogeneous storage system for the dataset, based on the configuration parameters. The method also includes determining an increased global reliability of the storage system for the dataset, by estimating a global reliability as would be obtained by modifying at least some of the configuration parameters, whereby at least the first and second amounts of the data subsets respectively stored on the devices are modified. The method further includes reconfiguring the dataset stored across the heterogeneous storage system according to the modified configuration parameters.

摘要: The invention is notably directed to computer-implemented methods and systems for managing datasets in a storage system. In such systems, it is assumed that a (typically small) subset of datasets are labeled with respect to their relevance, so as to be associated with respective relevance values. Essentially, the present methods determine, for each unlabeled dataset of the datasets, a respective probability distribution over a set of relevance values. From this probability distribution, a corresponding relevance value can be obtained. This probability distribution is computed based on distances (or similarities), in terms of metadata values, between said each unlabeled dataset and the labeled datasets. Based on their associated relevance values, datasets can then be efficiently managed in a storage system.

摘要: A storage system is proposed which comprises a data storage device including a number N of removable storage media for storing data, with N≧2, and a number m of drives, with m≧1, wherein each of the m drives is configured to drive one of the removable storage media mounted to the drive. The storage system includes a server being coupled to the data storage device and configured to serve requests from clients, and a controller which is configured to control the data storage device to adaptively unmount the removable storage media based on a monitoring information of the requests at the data storage device, states of the drives, and states of the removable storage media.
