Abstract
Systems and methods for 'what-if' scenario planning of a distributed data storage system. A scenario planning engine has a user interface to facilitate user interactions to describe 'what if' scenarios. A method comprises steps to collect system performance measurements pertaining to measurable characteristics of the distributed storage system. A predictive model is generated and formatted for use as a predictor of one or more predictive model parameters that are derived from the collected system performance measurements and/or any calculated predictions and/or correlations. A user can vary a set of scenario input parameters so as to characterize one or more “what if” scenarios. The user-defined scenario input parameters are formatted and used as predictive model inputs. The predictive model is used to simulate predicted system performance parameters corresponding to respective “what-if” planning scenarios. A user interface is provided to present a graphical depiction of predicted system performance corresponding to the scenarios.
