Synchronizing metadata among storage systems synchronously replicating a dataset, where synchronizing the metadata includes: receiving, at a first storage system of the storage systems, an I/O operation directed to the dataset; determining, in dependence upon the I/O operation, a metadata update describing a mapping of segments of content to a virtual address within a storage object, wherein the storage object includes the dataset; and synchronizing metadata on a second storage system of the storage systems by sending the metadata update to the second storage system to update a metadata representation on the second storage system in accordance with the metadata update.

Replication using shared content mappings

Preventing applications from overconsuming shared storage resources, including: identifying one or more sub-regions of data stored on a storage device that are associated with an application of a known application type; compiling information describing the application's utilization of a storage system; determining that a storage system objective has not been met; and initiating, based on the information describing the application's utilization of the storage system, remediation actions.

Preventing applications from overconsuming shared storage resources

Dynamically managing protection groups, including: identifying a protection group of storage resources, the protection group associated with a protection group management schedule that identifies one or more protection group management operations to be performed; detecting a membership change in the protection group; and updating, in dependence upon the change in the protection group, the protection group management schedule.
