Data packet migration based on quality of service agreement
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11886732B2) discloses a method for efficiently storing data packets in a data storage server to meet Quality of Service (QoS) agreements between hosts and clients. The method involves storing data packets in different memories with varying data transfer latencies and costs, proactively copying data packets based on predictive performance metrics, and migrating data packets to the most cost-effective memory based on future access requirements predicted by the system. By dynamically managing data storage locations and considering performance metrics, the method aims to optimize data storage costs while ensuring QoS agreements are met.
Furthermore, the patent also describes an apparatus comprising a data storage server with multiple memories, a controller, a data migration module, and a prediction module. This apparatus is designed to proactively copy data packets between memories, predict future access requirements, and migrate data packets to the most cost-effective memory based on performance metrics. The system is configured to ensure that both logged and predictive performance metrics are considered when determining the optimal storage location for data packets. By utilizing a combination of different memory types and proactive data management techniques, the apparatus aims to enhance data storage efficiency and cost-effectiveness while maintaining QoS agreements between hosts and clients.
