Abstract

See full text

A system for globally prioritizing and scheduling I/O requests from a plurality of storage users or clients to one or more storage objects. The system comprises a storage controller configured to receive I/O requests from the client workstations and prioritize and schedule those I/O requests in accordance with a scheduling algorithm. Specifically, the storage controller receives I/O requests from the storage users and places the I/O requests in memory queues associated with the particular storage users. The storage controller then selects the I/O requests from the various memory queues based on the scheduling algorithm.
