Thats a unique idea.You should consider the following idea to enhance your idea so that it would impact uniquely: Provisioning a storage system requires balancing the costs of the solution with the benefits that the solution will provide. Previous provisioning approaches have started with a fixed set of requirements and the goal of automatically finding minimum cost solutions to meet them. Such approaches neglect the cost-benefit analysis of the purchasing decision.#R##N##R##N#Purchasing a storage system involves an extensive set of trade-offs beten metrics such as purchase cost, performance, reliability, availability, por, etc. Increases in one metric have consequences for others, and failing to account for these trade-offs can lead to a poor return on the storage investment. Using a collection of storage acquisition and provisioning scenarios,  show that utility functions enable this cost-benefit structure to be conveyed to an automated provisioning tool, enabling the tool to make appropriate trade-offs beten different system metrics including performance, data protection, and purchase cost.
