Abstract
Example embodiments provide various techniques for modeling a storage environment at various times. A computer model can be composed to simulate a storage environment at various time periods. In an example, the computer model may simulate the storage environment in the past. As the storage environment is running, it continuously stores its existing state. This existing state can be accessed and a simulated workload may be applied to this previous state to identify an impact of the simulated workload on the existing state. A computer model may also simulate the storage environment in the future. Here, the future state of the storage environment may be projected from the existing state. Various extrapolation techniques may be used to project the future state of the storage environment.
