Abstract
Example implementations relate to provisioning a deduplication data store. An example includes receiving inputs indicating an expected data amount and at least one retention period for the deduplication data store; performing a comparison of the at least one retention period to a stored data structure; determining at least one storage multiplier based on the comparison of the at least one retention period to the stored data structure; and determining an amount of storage to provision for the deduplication data store based on the expected data amount and the at least one storage multiplier.
Claims20
A system comprising:
- a processor;
- a memory;
- and
- a machine-readable storage storing instructions, the instructions executable by the processor to:
- receive inputs indicating an expected data amount and at least one retention period for a deduplication data store;
- perform a comparison of the at least one retention period to a stored data structure, wherein the stored data structure comprises different combinations of respective storage multipliers corresponding to respective maximum retention periods;
- determine at least one storage multiplier of the respective storage multipliers based on the comparison of the at least one retention period to the stored data structure;
- and
- determine an amount of storage to provision for the deduplication data store based on the expected data amount and the determined at least one storage multiplier.
A method comprising:
- receiving, by a storage management system, inputs indicating an expected data amount and at least one retention period for a deduplication data store;
- performing, by the storage management system, a comparison of the at least one retention period to a stored data structure, wherein the stored data structure comprises different combinations of respective storage multipliers corresponding to respective maximum retention periods;
- determining, by the storage management system, at least one storage multiplier of respective storage multipliers based on the comparison of the at least one retention period to the stored data structure;
- and
- determining, by the storage management system, an amount of storage to provision for the deduplication data store based on the expected data amount and the determined at least one storage multiplier.
A non-transitory machine-readable medium storing instructions that upon execution cause a processor to:
- receive inputs indicating an expected data amount and at least one retention period for a deduplication data store;
- perform a comparison of the at least one retention period to a stored data structure, wherein the stored data structure comprises different combinations of respective storage multipliers corresponding to respective maximum retention periods;
- determine at least one storage multiplier of the respective storage multipliers based on the comparison of the at least one retention period to the stored data structure;
- and
- determine an amount of storage to provision for the deduplication data store based on the expected data amount and the determined at least one storage multiplier.
