METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR MANAGING STORAGE SPACE COMPLEXITY IN A STORAGE UNIT

Abstract:

Disclosed herein is method and system for managing storage space complexity in a storage unit. In an embodiment, operational parameters related to memory operations and storage parameters related to memory blocks of the storage unit are analyzed to estimate storage capacity of each of the memory blocks. Subsequently, the memory blocks are clustered into plurality of clusters based on the storage capacity. Further, one or more of the plurality of clusters are selected for performing future memory operations based on ranking of the plurality of clusters. In some embodiments, the present disclosure helps in dynamically managing storage space complexity in the storage unit and optimizes the storage space utilization. Also, the present disclosure automatically handles storage volumes, thereby reducing latency in memory backup operations and reducing amount of buffer/cache memory required.
