Abstract
Data migration between a source storage system and a target storage system is automated by calculating the optimal time window or group of consecutive time windows in which to execute the data migration, where optimality is defined in terms of source storage system and target storage system utilizations combined in a manner that accounts for differences between the source storage system and target storage system utilizations. Source and target storage system utilization scores are calculated for each of a plurality of time windows of at least one representative time period. A source-target load score is calculated for each of the time windows based on the source storage system utilization scores and the target storage system utilization scores. At least one of the time windows is selected based on the source-target load scores.
