Abstract

A unified enterprise level method and system for enhancing a performance of applications and storage subsystems in a storage network are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method for enhancing the performance of the storage network having applications and storage subsystems includes collecting performance data associated with the applications and the storage subsystems, and generating performance profiles for a set of combinations of the applications and the storage subsystems implemented in the storage network based on the performance data. The method also includes receiving desired performance criteria for an application of the storage network, and applying a performance profile to configure the application and a storage subsystem assigned to the application substantially similar to the desired performance criteria.
