Version: 1.0 Description In a typical Storage Area Network (SAN) environment, multiple I/O intensive applications share storage resources. Not all applications are mission critical, but they compete with the mission critical applications for the same I/O processing requirements. In such situations, there is a need to keep the key (mission critical) applications at a desired performance level and other (non critical) applications at an acceptable performance level.
