Current storage networks do not provide end-to-end Quality of Service (QoS). The intention of this research is to produce both a formal theory and real-world implementation of flexible, general, and fine-grained performance guarantees on standard commodity network hardware. These guarantees will be composable with guarantees made for CPU, disk, and memory resources such that end-to-end QoS on storage networks can be provided. Systems built using these methods will avoid over-provisioning, virtualize the performance of remote storage access, and experience improved reliability and administration over more traditional solutions.
