SANtricity – Engenio Storage array management suite.
Block storage array (entry and mid segment), provides high performance block storage for HPC and entry level market, with high quality data management features such as snapshot, Dynamic disk pool, remote replication etc.
QOS (Quality of Service) SANtricity – (C++, Java)
Performance fine tuning application for block storage LUN’s. Application allows user to define its own performance SLO, and tunes storage array resource allocation to meet the required SLO. Additionally application automatically detects performance issues, due to misconfiguration, performance bottlenecks, and corrects it automatically or alerts the users with remedy data. I am one of three member of team, and responsible for,
1. Defining, detection rules and correction measure’s for performance bottleneck issues. – Authored resource contention detection algorithm. (in disclosure filing process)
2. Implemented performance data collection engine framework.
3. Modified cache resource algorithm to reserve cache size based on SLO parameter set by user.
