Abstract
Embodiments of the invention provide a technique to model applications and storage used thereby. An aspect of the present invention is directed to a method for managing a computer system which includes at least one host computer and at least one storage system which are connected via a network, the at least one host computer having an application running thereon. The method comprises modeling an application running on a host of a computer system as an application object, which includes associating storage utilized by the application with the application object; tracking operation of the storage associated with the application object as a service being delivered by the storage to the application; and presenting result on the service being delivered by the storage to the application based on tracking the operation of the storage.
