Management of a database with relocation of data units thereof

Abstract:

A solution is proposed for managing a database, which comprises one or more data units stored in one or more of a plurality of computing machines. A corresponding method comprises monitoring one or more machine parameters relating to operation of each computing machine over time, monitoring one or more unit parameters relating to operation of each data unit on the corresponding computing machine over time, detecting a relocation condition corresponding to a missing fulfillment of one or more targets according to the monitored unit parameters, and determining a proposed relocation of the data units in the computing machines removing the missing fulfillment of the targets according to the monitored unit parameters and the monitored machine parameters for use in relocating the data units accordingly.
