MULTI-FACTOR CLOUD SERVICE STORAGE DEVICE ERROR PREDICTION

Abstract:

Systems and techniques for multi-factor cloud service storage device error prediction are described herein. A set of storage device metrics and a set of computing system metrics may be obtained. A feature set may be generated using the set of storage device metrics and the set of computing system metrics. Members of the feature set may be validated by evaluating a validation training dataset using the members of the feature set. A modified feature set may be created based on the validation. A storage device failure model may be created using the modified feature set. A storage device rating range may be determined by minimizing a cost of misclassification of a storage device. A set of storage devices to be labeled may be identified as having a high probability of failure.
