Abstract

A method, computer program product, and computing system for receiving telemetry data from a remote storage system. The remote storage system includes a plurality of subsystems. The telemetry data is analyzed to assign a subsystem health score to each of the plurality of subsystems, thus defining a plurality of subsystem health scores. A system health score is assigned to the remote storage system based, at least in part, upon each of the subsystem health scores.

Claims (69)

1. A computer-implemented method, executed on a computing system, comprising:

receiving telemetry data from a remote storage system, wherein the remote storage system includes a plurality of subsystems;

analyzing the telemetry data to assign a subsystem health score to each of the plurality of subsystems, thus defining a plurality of subsystem health scores, wherein the subsystem health score assigned to each of the plurality of subsystems is a numerical score; and

assigning a system health score to the remote storage system based, at least in part, upon each of the subsystem health scores, wherein the system health score is a numerical score, wherein assigning the system health score includes assigning the system health score based, at least in part, upon determining that a subset of the plurality of subsystems are failing and a configuration of the subset of the plurality of subsystems.

2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 further comprising:

gathering the telemetry data on the remote storage system.

3. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 further comprising:

providing one or more solutions to the remote storage system based, at least in part, upon the system health score assigned to the remote storage system.

4. The computer-implemented method of claim 3 wherein providing one or more solutions to the remote storage system includes one or more of:

installing one or more firmware upgrades on the remote storage system;

installing one or more software upgrades on the remote storage system;

providing one or more recommendations to an administrator of the remote storage system; and

providing one or more incentives to the administrator of the remote storage system.

5. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 wherein analyzing the telemetry data to assign a subsystem health score to each of the plurality of subsystems includes one or more of:

analyzing one or more hardware subsystems of the remote storage system for possible issues;

analyzing one or more software subsystems of the remote storage system for possible issues; and

analyzing one or more process subsystems of the remote storage system for possible issues.

6. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 wherein the plurality of subsystems includes one or more of:

a hardware subsystem;

a software subsystem; and

a process subsystem.

7. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 further comprising:

comparing the system health score assigned to the remote storage system to other system health scores assigned to other remote storage systems.

8. A computer program product residing on a non-transitory computer readable medium having a plurality of instructions stored thereon which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:

receiving telemetry data from a remote storage system, wherein the remote storage system includes a plurality of subsystems;

analyzing the telemetry data to assign a subsystem health score to each of the plurality of subsystems, thus defining a plurality of subsystem health scores, wherein the subsystem health score assigned to each of the plurality of subsystems is a numerical score; and

assigning a system health score to the remote storage system based, at least in part, upon each of the subsystem health scores, wherein the system health score is a numerical score, wherein assigning the system health score includes assigning the system health score based, at least in part, upon determining that a subset of the plurality of subsystems are failing and a configuration of the subset of the plurality of subsystems.

9. The computer program product of claim 8 further comprising instructions for:

gathering the telemetry data on the remote storage system.

10. The computer program product of claim 8 further comprising instructions for:

providing one or more solutions to the remote storage system based, at least in part, upon the system health score assigned to the remote storage system.

11. The computer program product of claim 10 wherein providing one or more solutions to the remote storage system includes one or more of:

installing one or more firmware upgrades on the remote storage system;

installing one or more software upgrades on the remote storage system;

providing one or more recommendations to an administrator of the remote storage system; and

providing one or more incentives to the administrator of the remote storage system.

12. The computer program product of claim 8 wherein analyzing the telemetry data to assign a subsystem health score to each of the plurality of subsystems includes one or more of:

analyzing one or more hardware subsystems of the remote storage system for possible issues;

analyzing one or more software subsystems of the remote storage system for possible issues; and

analyzing one or more process subsystems of the remote storage system for possible issues.

13. The computer program product of claim 8 wherein the plurality of subsystems includes one or more of:

a hardware subsystem;

a software subsystem; and

a process subsystem.

14. The computer program product of claim 8 further comprising instructions for:

comparing the system health score assigned to the remote storage system to other system health scores assigned to other remote storage systems.

15. A computing system including a processor and memory configured to perform operations comprising:

receiving telemetry data from a remote storage system, wherein the remote storage system includes a plurality of subsystems;

analyzing the telemetry data to assign a subsystem health score to each of the plurality of subsystems, thus defining a plurality of subsystem health scores, wherein the subsystem health score assigned to each of the plurality of subsystems is a numerical score; and

assigning a system health score to the remote storage system based, at least in part, upon each of the subsystem health scores, wherein the system health score is a numerical score, wherein assigning the system health score includes assigning the system health score based, at least in part, upon determining that a subset of the plurality of subsystems are failing and a configuration of the subset of the plurality of subsystems.

16. The computing system of claim 15 further configured to perform operations comprising:

gathering the telemetry data on the remote storage system.

17. The computing system of claim 15 further configured to perform operations comprising:

providing one or more solutions to the remote storage system based, at least in part, upon the system health score assigned to the remote storage system.

18. The computing system of claim 17 wherein providing one or more solutions to the remote storage system includes one or more of:

installing one or more firmware upgrades on the remote storage system;

installing one or more software upgrades on the remote storage system;

providing one or more recommendations to an administrator of the remote storage system; and

providing one or more incentives to the administrator of the remote storage system.

19. The computing system of claim 15 wherein analyzing the telemetry data to assign a subsystem health score to each of the plurality of subsystems includes one or more of:

analyzing one or more hardware subsystems of the remote storage system for possible issues;

analyzing one or more software subsystems of the remote storage system for possible issues; and

analyzing one or more process subsystems of the remote storage system for possible issues.
