The amount of data managed by organisations continues to grow relentlessly. Driven by the high costs of maintaining multiple local storage systems, there is a well established trend towards storage consolidation using multi-tier Virtualised Storage Systems (VSSs). At the same time, storage infrastructures are increasingly subject to stringent Quality of Service (QoS) demands. Within a VSS, it is challenging to match desired QoS with delivered QoS, considering the latter can vary dramatically both across and within tiers. Manual efforts to achieve this match require extensive and ongoing human intervention.
