Performance-based scaling and migration in virtual storage systems

Abstract

Dynamic scaling of a virtual storage system, including: detecting, within one or more virtual components of the virtual storage system, a change in performance; determining, in response to the detected change in performance, a scaling response based on the virtual storage system meeting one or more target performance metrics; and scaling, based on one or more available virtual components of the virtual storage system, up or down such that performance of the virtual storage system is in accordance within the one or more target performance metrics.
