Abstract

A target data storage system is simulated. A source configuration is received. First activity data is received representing workload for the source configuration. A target data storage system configuration for one or more target data storage systems is created. The target data storage system configuration is modeled including determining a simulated workload for components of the target data storage system configuration based on the first activity data. A utilization map is displayed in a user interface indicating component level utilizations of components of the target data storage system configuration based on the simulated workload. A data movement optimization for the target data storage system configuration is simulated. A second utilization map is displayed indicating updated component level utilizations for the target data storage system configuration which have been revised to model the simulated data movement optimization for the target data storage system configuration.
