1.9.4.4 Feature Improvement of Automated QoS (Quality of Service)

The following functions are provided. Refer to the Storage Cruiser Operation Guide for Optimization Function for details.

Simplification of Configurations of Automated QoS Feature

By configuring an Automated QoS priority in relation to the volume the user will be utilizing, a performance target will be automatically calculated based on the priority and automated tuning will be performed in order to achieve the calculated target.

Coordination of Automated Storage Tiering and Automated QoS Feature

By configuring an Automated QoS priority or target response time, automated tuning of the performance will be performed with the Automated QoS feature or Automated Storage Tiering. For this reason, it will not be necessary to separate the use of the Automated QoS feature and Automated Storage Tiering.

Visualization of Effects of Performance Improvements

It is possible to confirm the effects of the installation of the Automated QoS feature with the Web Console.
