Method for optimizing storage configuration for future demand and system thereof

A system for optimizing storage configuration, comprising:

• a monitoring module, electrically connected to a workload host and a storage system, for collecting performance values and utilization values from the workload host and/or the storage system having a plurality of storage nodes, and scanning feature information from each of the storage node;
• a storage recording module, electrically connected to the monitoring module, for storing the performance values and utilization values from the monitoring module or by manual update, and providing the stored performance values and utilization values;
• a traffic modeling module, electrically connected to the storage recording module, for providing a traffic status of data access in a particular time in the future according to the performance values and utilization values from the storage recording module;
• a rule-based decision module, electrically connected to the traffic modeling module, for providing rules determining mapping of a workload requirement to a storage configuration of the storage system;
• and
• a storage management module, electrically connected to the rule-based decision module and the storage system, for providing one workload requirement from the workload host to the rule-based decision module and performing one storage configuration to the storage system according to the rule provided from the rule-based decision module.
