Abstract

A computer-executable method, system, and computer program product for managing a cloud computing resource in communication with a data storage system, the computer-executable method, system, and computer program product comprising receiving configuration information at the data storage system related to a host application; determining an optimized configuration for the host application; and creating an implementation of the optimized configuration based on one or more resources enabled to be accessed by the data storage system.

Claims

1. A computer-executable method for managing a cloud computing resource in communication with a data storage system, the computer-executable method comprising:

providing one or more levels of data storage resources from the cloud computing resource;

receiving configuration information at the data storage system related to a host application;

determining an optimized configuration for the host application, wherein the optimized configuration is enabled to include local resources and the data storage resources from the cloud computing resource;

wherein the determining of the optimized configuration is based on one or more operating parameters of the host application;

creating an implementation of the optimized configuration based on one or more of the data storage resources enabled to be accessed by the data storage system using the cloud computing resource;

monitoring the implementation of the optimized configuration;

wherein the monitoring comprises determining whether the one or more operating parameters are being met;

transmitting a remediation request to the cloud computing resource in response to a determination that the one or more operating parameters are not being met; and

sending one or more requests to a user of the data storage system allowing the user to opt for increased priority access to one or more of the data storage resources in response to a determination that the one or more operating parameters are not being met.

2. The computer-executable method of claim 1, wherein the implementation of the optimized configuration uses the cloud computing resource to execute the host application.

3. The computer-executable method of claim 1, wherein the implementation of the optimized configuration uses the data storage system and the cloud computing resource to execute the host application.

4. The computer-executable method of claim 1, wherein the determining of the optimized configuration is further based on a cost of the cloud computing resource.

5. The computer-executable method of claim 1, wherein a first parameter of the one or more operating parameters is execution time.

6. The computer-executable method of claim 1, wherein a first parameter of the one or more operating parameters is maximum cost.

7. The computer-executable method of claim 1, further comprising:

receiving a request for maintenance of at least a portion of the data storage system, wherein the implementation of the optimized configuration is based at least in part on the request for maintenance;

migrating data from at least the portion of the data storage system to the one or more of the data storage resources from the cloud computing resource;

performing the maintenance of at least the portion of the data storage system following the migrating; and

migrating the data from the one or more of the data storage resources to at least the portion of the data storage system following the performing of the maintenance.

8. A system, comprising:

a data storage system;

a cloud computing resource in communication with the data storage system; and

computer-executable logic encoded in memory of one or more computers in communication with the data storage system to enable the management of the data storage system in conjunction with the cloud computing resource, wherein the computer-executable program logic is configured for the execution of;

providing one or more levels of data storage resources from the cloud computing resource;

receiving configuration information at the data storage system related to a host application;

determining an optimized configuration for the host application, wherein the optimized configuration is enabled to include local resources and the data storage resources from the cloud computing resource;

wherein the determining of the optimized configuration is based on one or more operating parameters of the host application;

creating an implementation of the optimized configuration based on one or more of the data storage resources enabled to be accessed by the data storage system using the cloud computing resource;

monitoring the implementation of the optimized configuration;

wherein the monitoring comprises determining whether the one or more operating parameters are being met;

transmitting a remediation request to the cloud computing resource in response to a determination that the one or more operating parameters are not being met; and

sending one or more requests to a user of the data storage system allowing the user to opt for increased priority access to one or more of the data storage resources in response to a determination that the one or more operating parameters are not being met.

9. The system of claim 8, wherein the implementation of the optimized configuration uses the cloud computing resource to execute the host application.

10. The system of claim 8, wherein the implementation of the optimized configuration uses the data storage system and the cloud computing resource to execute the host application.

11. The system of claim 8, wherein the determining of the optimized configuration is further based on a cost of the cloud computing resource.

12. The system of claim 8, wherein a first parameter of the one or more operating parameters is execution time.

13. The system of claim 8, wherein a first parameter of the one or more operating parameters is maximum cost.

14. The system of claim 8, wherein the computer-executable program logic is further configured for the execution of:

receiving a request for maintenance of at least a portion of the data storage system, wherein the implementation of the optimized configuration is based at least in part on the request for maintenance;

migrating data from at least the portion of the data storage system to the one or more of the data storage resources from the cloud computing resource;

performing the maintenance of at least the portion of the data storage system following the migrating; and

migrating the data from the one or more of the data storage resources to at least the portion of the data storage system following the performing of the maintenance.

15. A computer program product for managing a cloud computing resource in communication with a data storage system, the computer program product comprising:

a non-transitory computer readable medium encoded with computer-executable program code, the code configured to enable the execution of;

providing one or more levels of data storage resources from the cloud computing resource;

receiving configuration information at the data storage system related to a host application;

determining an optimized configuration for the host application, wherein the optimized configuration is enabled to include local resources and the data storage resources from the cloud computing resource;

wherein the determining of the optimized configuration is based on one or more operating parameters of the host application;

creating an implementation of the optimized configuration based on one or more of the data storage resources enabled to be accessed by the data storage system using the cloud computing resource;
