Assessing user performance in a community of users of data storage resources
First Claim
1. A method of assessing users of a data storage system, the method comprising:
- determining, with a first computing device of a data storage system provider, first configuration information indicative of a hardware configuration, a software configuration, and/or corresponding complexity of a first data storage cell, the first data storage cell comprising one or more client computing devices and configured to create and store one or more secondary copies of primary data generated by the one or more client computing devices in the first data storage cell;
determining, with the first computing device, first incident information relating to a first incident in which resources of the data storage system provider were expended on behalf of a first user of the first data storage cell;
updating, with the first computing device, a performance metric associated with the first user to a first value based on the first incident, wherein the first value is based at least in part one or both of the first configuration information and the first incident information;
determining, with the first computing device, second configuration information indicative of a hardware configuration, a software configuration, and/or corresponding complexity of a second data storage cell, the second data storage cell comprising one or more client computing devices and configured to create and store one or more secondary copies of primary data generated by the one or more client computing devices in the second data storage cell;
determining, with the first computing device, second incident information relating to a second incident in which resources of the data storage system provider were expended on behalf of a second user of the second data storage cell; and
updating, with the first computing device, a performance metric associated with the second user to a second value based on the second incident, wherein the second value is based at least in part on one or both of the second configuration information and the second incident information.

Abstract
According to certain aspects, a method of assessing users of a data storage system can include receiving configuration information relating to a deployed configuration of a first data storage cell and including number of installed data storage hardware and/or software components, the first data storage cell comprising a plurality of client computing devices and being configured to create and store one or more secondary copies of primary data generated by the plurality of client computing devices. The method may also include receiving information relating to an incident opened by a user of the first data storage cell. The method may further include updating a performance metric associated with the user to a new value to reflect a negative impact on the performance metric resulting from the opening of the incident by the user, wherein the degree of the negative impact is based at least in part on the configuration information.

11. A system, comprising:
-
a first computing device of a data storage system provider, the first computing device comprising computer hardware and configured to; determine first configuration information indicative of a hardware configuration, a software configuration, and/or corresponding complexity of a first data storage cell, the first data storage cell comprising one or more client computing devices and configured to create and store one or more secondary copies of primary data generated by the one or more client computing devices in the first data storage cell; determine first incident information relating to a first incident in which resources of the data storage system provider were expended on behalf of a first user of the first data storage cell; update a performance metric associated with the first user a first value based on the first incident, wherein the first value is based at least in part on one or both of the first configuration information and the first incident information; determine second configuration information indicative of a hardware configuration, a software configuration, and/or corresponding complexity of a second data storage cell, the second data storage cell comprising one or more client computing devices and configured to create and store one or more secondary copies of primary data generated by the one or more client computing devices in the second data storage cell; determine second incident information relating to a second incident in which resources of the data storage system provider were expended on behalf of a second user of the second data storage cell; and update a performance metric associated with the second user to a second value based on the second incident, wherein the second value is based at least in part on one or both of the second configuration information and the second incident information, wherein the first computing device is in networked communication with the first data storage cell and the second data storage cell. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
