Patent Images
1. A system, comprising:
- a processor; and
a memory comprising program instructions, wherein the program instructions are executable by the processor to;
collect storage demand data for a storage system; and
determine a storage requirement for the storage system to meet a given storage availability risk level under one or more conditions indicated by the storage demand data.

Abstract
System and method for data storage management. Embodiments may be used to perform analysis of disk-based data storage. Embodiments may provide a storage analysis mechanism for estimating storage inventory/availability risk tradeoff for data storage media for an application or group of applications. Embodiments may be used to generate storage inventory information and recommendations or requirements for pooled and/or non-pooled storage. Embodiments may be used to compare pooled storage to non-pooled storage for a plurality of applications in a storage system.
