  • Systems and methods for adaptive throttling of input/output requests in a virtual environment
    Patent number: 9122503
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for adaptive throttling of input/output requests in a virtual environment may include (1) monitoring input/output requests sent from a virtual machine to a storage system, (2) determining a latency of one or more of the monitored input/output requests, (3) determining that the latency exceeds a threshold, and (4) reducing, in response to determining that the latency exceeds the threshold, a rate at which an application on the virtual machine sends input/output requests to the storage system. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
