  • METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DYNAMICALLY MANAGING BANDWIDTH FOR CLIENTS IN A STORAGE AREA NETWORK
    Publication number: 20120016950
    Abstract: A method for managing bandwidth allocation in a storage area network includes receiving a plurality of Input/Output (I/O) requests from a plurality of client devices, determining a priority of each of the client devices relative to other client devices, and dynamically allocating bandwidth resources to each client device based on the priority assigned to that client device.
