Abstract:
In one embodiment, a method for managing overprovisioning in a solid state storage drive array comprises receiving usage data from each of a plurality of solid state storage drives, determining a predicted service life value for each of the plurality of solid state storage drives based on at least the usage data, comparing each of the predicted service life values with a predetermined service life value for each respective solid state storage drive, and dynamically adjusting an available logical storage capacity for at least one of the plurality of solid state storage drives based on a result of the step of comparing. In one embodiment, dynamically adjusting the available logical storage capacity for the at least one of the plurality of solid state storage drives comprises increasing the available logical capacity of that solid state storage drive based on the result that the predicted service life value for that solid state storage drive is greater than the predetermined service life value for that solid state storage drive.

Claim (Index 12):
A system for managing overprovisioning in a solid state storage drive array comprising:\n a plurality of solid state storage drives, each solid state storage drive configured to record usage data; a drive state monitor communicatively coupled to each of the plurality of solid state storage drives, the drive state monitor configured to request usage data from each of the plurality of stolid state storage drives; a telemetry database configured to store a series of values of the usage data received over a period of time from the drive state monitor; an analytics engine communicatively coupled to the telemetry database, the analytics engine configured to determine a predicted service life value of each of the plurality of solid state storage drives based on at least the usage data; and a virtualizer communicatively coupled to the analytics engine, the virtualizer configured to dynamically adjust an available logical storage capacity for at least one of the plurality of solid state storage drives based on a result of a comparison of the predicted service life value for that solid state storage drive to a predetermined service life value for that solid state storage drive.
