The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: ”A method and a system for diagnosing remaining lifetime of storages in a data center are disclosed. The method includes the steps of: a) sequentially and periodically collecting operating attributes of failed storages along with time-to-fail records of the failed storages in a data center; b) grouping the operating attributes collected at the same time or fallen in a continuous period of time so that each group has the same number of operating attributes; c) sequentially marking a time tag for the groups of operating attributes; d) generating a trend model of remaining lifetime of the storages from the operating attributes and time-to-fail records by ML and/or DL algorithm(s) with the groups of operating attributes and time-to-fail records fed according to the order of the time tags, and e) inputting a set of operating attributes of a currently operating storage into the trend model to calculate a remaining lifetime therefor.”
The patent application was filed on November 20, 2017 (15/817,639).
