Abstract
As disclosed herein a method, executed by a computer, includes analyzing historical I/O data, corresponding to one or more applications, to determine an expected available bandwidth for a plurality of storage devices of a distributed storage system, and generating a data retrieval plan for the plurality of storage devices storage devices based on a historical I/O access pattern and according to the expected available bandwidth for the plurality of storage devices. The method further includes accessing data for a backend computational job from the plurality of storage devices according to the data retrieval plan, and throttling I/O throughput for the backend computational job according to the expected available bandwidth for the plurality of storage devices. A computer system and computer program product corresponding to the above method are also disclosed herein.
