Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product for managing data sets of a storage facility is disclosed. The method, system, and computer program product include determining, by analyzing a first data set, that the first data set includes a first record having padded data. To identify the padded data, the method, system, and computer program product include comparing at least a portion of the first record of the first data set with a second record of a second data set. Next, the method, system, and computer program product include removing, from the first record of the first data set, the padded data.

Abstract: Resource utilization data for a set of system components of a computing system is collected. The resource utilization data includes performance records for a set of jobs. By analyzing the collected resource utilization data for the set of system components, a resource allocation is identified for a particular job of the set of jobs. A first execution time for the particular job is determined based on the resource allocation for the particular job and the resource utilization data for the set of system components. A location at which to execute the particular job is determined based on how the particular job has been executed at the location previously. The first execution time may be a time when the computer system achieves a resource availability threshold with respect to the resource allocation. Aspects are also directed toward performing the particular job at the first execution time.

Abstract: For replicating a source storage system, a scan module generates a source storage server description for each source storage server of the source storage system from a scan of the source storage system. The source storage server description includes a replication type and a source volume record for each source logical volume of the source storage server. A provision module determines a number of replicated instances of each source logical volume for a target storage system from the replication type. In addition the provision module generates a target storage server description for each target storage server of the target storage system from each source storage server description in response to the target storage system satisfying a target storage requirement.

Abstract: A computer system, method, and program product for dynamically allocating storage bandwidth in an exchange is provided. The method provided creates, by an exchange server, a total inventory of resources for auction, whereby the total inventory of resources for auction includes resources from at least one provider. The total inventory of resources for auction is broadcast to at least one bidder. The amount of a resource is awarded to the at least one bidder at an end of a bidding interval, based on a bid provided by the at least one bidder during the bidding interval, where the amount of the resource is a portion of the total inventory of resources for auction.

Abstract: A method for migrating data in a tiered storage architecture is disclosed. In one embodiment, such a method includes tracking the temperature of data blocks in a tiered storage architecture, where the temperature indicates the frequency the data blocks are accessed. Heat maps are generated that indicate the temperature of the data blocks across different time intervals. These heat maps are compared to identify temperature patterns that may occur over time. The temperature patterns, in turn, may be used to predict when selected data blocks will change in temperature. Data blocks may be migrated between tiers of the tiered storage architecture in anticipation of the predicated changes in temperature. A corresponding system and computer program product are also disclosed.

Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product for managing data in a storage facility is disclosed. A data set is selected for management based on a usage factor and a value factor. In a control block for the data set, a permissible address-range for access to a unit of storage space is established. A requested address-range of an access request configured for the unit of storage space is identified. By comparing the permissible address-range and the requested address-range, a determination is made whether to process the access request. An event response is initiated in response to determining to disallow processing of the access request.
