ITR: Self-* Storage Systems

在现代it基础设施中，人工管理存储系统（包括容量规划、备份、负载平衡等）是一个巨大且日益增长的问题；据报道，每1- 10tb存储1个系统管理员的比例对于即将到来的多pb数据中心来说是可怕的。本研究计划定义并探索了一种新的存储架构，该架构集成了自动化管理功能并简化了人工管理任务。我们将一致性系统称为自存储系统，试图在一个元术语中捕获许多最近的流行词汇；Self *系统应该是自配置、自组织、自调优、自修复、自管理等。人工管理人员只提供添加成分的力量和可接受风险水平和当前满意度水平的指导。自存储借鉴了企业结构的组织思想，借鉴了人工智能和控制系统的技术，简化了存储管理，增强了系统的鲁棒性，简化了系统建设。

Human administration of storage systems (including capacity planning,back-up, load balancing, etc.) is a large and growing issue in modernIT infrastructures; reported ratios of 1 sysadmin per 1-10TB of storageare scary with multi-petabyte data centers on the horizon.This research program defines and explores a new storage architecturethat integrates automated management functions and simplifies the humanadministrative task. We refer to conforming systems as self-* storagesystems in an attempt to capture many recent buzzwords in a singlemeta-buzzword; self-* systems should be self-configuring, self-organizing,self-tuning, self-healing, self-managing, etc. Human administratorsprovide only muscle for component addition and guidance on acceptablerisk levels and current levels of satisfaction. Borrowing organizationalideas from corporate structure and technologies from AI and controlsystems, self-* storage should simplify storage administration, increasesystem robustness, and simplify system construction.
