A method for more efficiently storing genomic includes designating multiple different data storage techniques for storing genomic data generated by a genomic pipeline. The method further identifies a file, made up of multiple blocks, generated by the genomic pipeline. The method determines which data storage technique is most optimal to store each block of the file. In doing so, the method may consider the type of the file, the stage of the genomic pipeline that generated the file, the access frequency for blocks of the file, the most accessed blocks of the file, and the like. The method stores each block using the data storage technique determined to be most optimal after completion of a designated stage of the genomic pipeline, such that blocks of the file are stored using several different data storage techniques. A corresponding system and computer program product are also disclosed.

A computer-implemented method for provisioning cloud computing clusters includes receiving a request to create a cloud computing cluster, the cloud computing cluster comprising a clustered filesystem and a requested number of processing nodes and attached storage devices associated with the cloud computing cluster and initiating an initialization process for a single processing node and a corresponding attached storage device responsive to receiving the request to create the cloud computing cluster. The method may also include, previous to completion of the initialization process, requesting and receiving an IP address for the single processing node and a device ID for the corresponding attached storage device from one or more cloud infrastructure controllers and configuring the clustered filesystem and a corresponding WAN cache using the received IP address and the received device ID. A system and computer program product corresponding to the above method are also disclosed herein.

A computer-implemented method, according to one embodiment, includes: determining, for each pair of HCI systems where each pair includes a first HCI system coupled to another HCI system, a federation relationship setting that corresponds to each pair. The federation relationship settings are used to control a flow of data, as well as to control a flow of workload scheduling, between the first HCI system and the other HCI systems in the respective pairs. Moreover, determining a federation relationship setting that corresponds to a pair includes: determining whether a risk score which corresponds to the pair is outside a predetermined range. In response to determining that the risk score is outside the predetermined range, a restrictive federation relationship setting is assigned to the pair, and in response to determining that the risk score is not outside the predetermined range, a permissive federation relationship setting is assigned to the pair.

Utilizing federation relationship settings among different systems

A computer-implemented method, according to one approach, includes: monitoring actions of a user having access to a cluster, and in response to determining that the user has performed a risk event, incrementing a risk score assigned to the user. A determination is also made as to whether the incremented risk score is outside a predetermined range, and in response to determining that the incremented risk score is outside the predetermined range, a snapshot quota assigned to the user is dynamically reduced.

A method for assigning and migrating files among tiers within a unified storage environment. The method includes one or more computer processors determining a plurality of files stored within a tiered storage environment that are accessed by a set executing applications. The method further includes determining that one or more files of the plurality of files are accessed utilizing two or more protocols. The method further includes identifying a group of two or more tiering policies utilized within a tiered storage environment. The method further includes determining protocol-based heat count values corresponding the plurality of files. The method further includes storing the plurality of files among tiers of the tiered storage environment based on the identified group of two or more tiering polices and the protocol-based heat count values corresponding to the plurality of files.

This is an approach to the prediction of soil density and subsoil crop growth. The approach may include subsoil sensor which can monitor changes in soil pressure and moisture conditions. The sensor data can be sent to a computer module which can process the data using a machine learning model predicting the soil density around a subsoil crop and the yield of the subsoil crop. A soil maintenance plan can be generated from the soil density prediction and/or the crop yield prediction. The soil maintenance plan can be sent to soil management robots, which can execute the soil maintenance plan.

A computer-implemented method according to one aspect includes determining and storing characteristics of a plurality of cloud vendors; dividing a workload into a plurality of logical stages; determining characteristics of each of the plurality of logical stages; and for each of the plurality of logical stages, assigning the logical stage to one of the plurality of cloud vendors, based on a comparison of the characteristics of the plurality of cloud vendors to the characteristics of the logical stage. Data migration between the cloud vendors is performed during an implementation of the workload to ensure data is located at necessary cloud vendors during the corresponding tasks of the workload.

Implementing workloads in a multi-cloud environment with data migration between cloud vendors

A processor may identify that an external power source has begun powering a computing device. The processor may identify computational data in a volatile memory of the computing device. The processor may determine that the external power source does not have sufficient energy capacity to provide the computing device enough power to process the computational data at a first I/O throttling rate. The processor may increase the first I/O throttling rate to a second I/O throttling rate. The second I/O throttling rate may allow the computational data to be processed by the computing device with the energy capacity of the external power source.

A data storage system has multiple tiers of data storage including an upper tier having a lower access latency and a lower tier having a higher access latency. A storage controller of the data storage system receives, via an interface, an access request of a workload for a target file system object, where the target file system object has an associated temperature. In response to the access request for the target file system object, the storage controller accesses the target file system object in the data storage and conditions update of the associated temperature of the target file system object based on at least one of a set including the interface and the workload. The storage controller distributes a collection of file system objects including the target file system object among the multiple tiers based on respective heats of file system objects in the collection.
