Today we continue discussing the best practice from storage engineering:
es time and cost.

589) The organization in the cloud does not limit the number and type of services available from the cloud. The same holds true for the feature as services within a storage product.

590) The benefits that come with the cloud can also come from a storage product.

591) There are times when the storage product will have imbalanced load. They will need to be load balanced. Since this is an ongoing activity, it can be periodically scheduled or responded when thresholds are crossed.

592) When the layers of infrastructure and storage services are clearly differentiated, the upper layer may utilize the alerting from the lower layers for health checks and to take corrective actions.

593) There are a number of ways to monitor a system whether it is for performance, statistics or health checks. A system center management system can consolidate and unify the operations management. The storage product merely needs to publish to a system center.

594) There are several formats of metrics and monitoring data and generally they are proprietary. Utilizing an external stack for these purposes via APIs helps alleviate the concerns from the storage service.

595) Virtually every service utilized from the infrastructure is candidate for standardization and consistency so that one component/vendor in th
