    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To manage an appropriate storage infrastructure having a plurality of storage components in accordance with consumer service level objectives (SLOs). SOLUTION: The storage components for storing consumer data are identified under consideration of specified service level objectives, and consumer SLO policies are mapped to the storage components to select available storage components for specified data classes to configure the storage components. The storage infrastructure comprises a management instance which automatically ensures that consumer data is stored on appropriate storage components satisfying the corresponding SLO policies, a consumer service level interface for providing SLO policies to the management instance, a component discovery and classification module (CDC module) for identifying storage components for storing consumer data, and a repository for storing metadata associated with the storing of consumer data under consideration of SLO policies.

    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for providing stor­age resources (R01-R09) of a storage management system (201), the method comprising: receiving (101) a storage service request comprising an indication of a service class (301-303); determining (102) all resource managers (RM1-RM5) mapped to the in­dicated service class according to a first mapping (212) each resource manager having a generic API; for each of the determined resource managers, determine (104) se­lected ones of all the storage resources controllable by said re­source manager; gathering (105) monitoring data of the selected storage resources; comparing (106) the gathered monitoring data for calculating a score for each one of the selected storage resources; and calling (107) at least one function of the resource manager operable to control the storage resource having an optimum score.
