Abstract
A method comprising: generating a write-on-write distribution for a plurality of data units in a data entity, the write-on-write distribution including a plurality of buckets, each bucket corresponding to a different write-on-write time range, each bucket having a respective bucket size that is based on a count of ones of the plurality of data units whose respective predicted write-on-write times fall within the bucket's write-on-write time range; identifying one or more utilization metrics of a storage system where the data entity is hosted; classifying a representative bucket size of the write-on-write distribution and the one or more utilization metrics with a machine learning model to predict a replication period for the data entity, the representative bucket size being a bucket size within a predetermined distance from a mean bucket size of the write-on-write distribution; and configuring the storage system to replicate the data entity in accordance with the replication period.
