Cross-tenant analysis of similar storage environments to recommend storage policy changes

A system, comprising:

• a processing circuit;
• and
• logic integrated with the processing circuit, executable by the processing circuit, or integrated with and executable by the processing circuit, wherein the logic causes the processing circuit to:
• determine a first set of similarity metrics for a first storage environment;
• obtain one or more second sets of similarity metrics from second storage environments that correspond with the first storage environment;
• calculate a similarity measurement score between the first storage environment and each of the second storage environments;
• determine a set of similar storage environments from amongst the second storage environments based on the similarity measurement scores;
• compare benchmark metrics for the first storage environment with benchmark metrics for each of the storage environments in the set of similar storage environments, the benchmark metrics indicating one or more desired aspects of the first storage environment;
• ascertain relative performance of the first storage environment to the set of similar storage environments in regard to the one or more desired aspects based on comparing the benchmark metrics for the first storage environment with the benchmark metrics for each of the storage environments in the set of similar storage environments;
• and
• re-align the first storage environment according to one or more identified aspects that improve performance of the first storage environment by mimicking a configuration of at least one of the set of similar storage environments.

A method, comprising:

• determining a first set of similarity metrics for a first storage environment, the first set of similarity metrics being based on predetermined parameters related to the first storage environment, at least one of the predetermined parameters being relating to a redundancy of connections and devices in the first storage environment;
• obtaining a second set of similarity metrics for a second storage environment;
• determining that the second storage environment is similar to the first storage environment by calculating a similarity measurement score between the sets of similarity metrics for the first and second storage environments;
• and
• re-aligning the first storage environment according to one or more identified aspects of the second storage environment that improve performance of the first storage environment.
