Application ID: 14283377

Base Claim:
1. An adaptive fuzzy rule controlling system for a software defined storage (SDS) system to control performance parameters in a storage node, comprising: a traffic monitoring module, for acquiring observed values of performance parameters in the storage node; an adaptive neural fuzzy inference module, for learning a dynamic relationship between configurations of a plurality of storage devices in the storage node and the performance parameters during a period of time, and outputting fuzzy rules which is built according to the dynamic relationship; a traffic forecasting module, for providing forecasted values of the performance parameters in a particular point in time in the future; and a fuzzy rule control module, for arranging the configuration of the storage devices in the storage node in the particular point in time in the future according to the fuzzy rules and the forecasted values so that a specified value of one specified performance parameter can be achieved in the particular point in time in the future, wherein the storage node is operated by SDS software.

Claim 3:
3. The adaptive fuzzy rule controlling system according to claim 1 , wherein the adaptive neural fuzzy inference module generates a plurality of membership functions, each for defining degrees of one performance parameter or the configuration of the storage device at a specified level.
