Abstract
Adjusting storage capacity in a computing system that includes a computing device configured to send access requests to a storage device characterized by a first storage capacity, including: reducing data; determining, in dependence upon an amount of storage capacity saved by reducing the data, an updated storage capacity for the storage device; and exporting an updated storage capacity to the computing device.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving data at a storage system that is characterized by a total storage capacity;
- reducing the data by executing one or more data reduction operations at a storage array;
- in response to reducing the data, determining an updated storage capacity for the storage array;
- and
- communicating the updated storage capacity.
2 more elements
A storage system comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- a processing device, operatively coupled to the memory, configured to:
- receive data at a storage array characterized by a total storage capacity;
- reduce the data by executing one or more data reduction operations at a storage array;
- in response to reducing the data, determine an updated storage capacity for the storage array;
- and
- communicate the updated storage capacity.
5 more elements
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium which, when executed, cause a processing device to:
- receive data at a storage array characterized by a total storage capacity;
- reduce the data by executing one or more data reduction operations at a storage array;
- in response to reducing the data, determine an updated storage capacity for the storage array;
- and
- communicate the updated storage capacity.
