Abstract
Data storage devices of an enterprise system are tested to determine whether the enterprise system is optimally configured. Each data storage device is tested to determine whether it can satisfy a performance requirement for an assigned group of n workloads. A group of n inequalities are generated, and only up to n of the inequalities may be evaluated to determine whether the device satisfies the performance requirement for the assigned group of workloads. The inequalities are based on a phased, correlated model of I/O activity.
