Intelligent Orchestration Agent for Storage Platform Management

Until recently, we have concentrated on building hardware based infrastructure such as computing resources, storage resources, and network resources to support rapidly growing big data, and we have been managing it with existing hardware infrastructure management methods. However, as the amount of data explosively increases and the number of infrastructure resources increases, the existing hardware infrastructure operation is confronted with limitations. Therefore, the need for more efficient resource management technology is increasing. This paper has designed intelligent orchestration agent which supports storage platform management with software defined storage concept. The basic structure proposed in this paper is that the orchestration agent manages performance, capacity and power saving based on a software defined storage platform.
