Abstract

Described are modeling techniques. In accordance with one or more criteria, a determination may be made as to whether to use a dynamic model or a static model to model performance of components, such as storage devices, of a data storage system. A system may include first and second data storage systems where the first data storage system includes a computer readable medium with first code that performs processing in connection with data storage movement optimizations using one or more models including a dynamic model, and second code that generates and maintains the dynamic model used to model performance of storage devices. The second code may include code for performing first processing to determine device sets each of which does not share back-end resources of the second data storage system with any other device sets, and performing second processing to determine sets of performance curves corresponding to the device sets.
