Abstract

See full text

There are provided a system, a method and a computer program product for operating a cloud computing storage system. The cloud computing storage system allocates and manages virtual disks. A virtual disk provides a logical data storage. The cloud computing storage system divides data stored in the virtual disks into chunks and allocates the chunks to physical data storage devices. The cloud computing storage system monitors I/O access patterns and user requests to change data storage capacities and throughputs of the virtual disks in real time. The cloud computing storage system dynamically reconfigures an allocation of the chunks to the physical data storage devices.
