Abstract
The disclosed computer-implemented method for managing quality of service may include (i) providing, in a network storage environment, a quality of service engine to regulate network traffic by assigning three separate factors to applications that are consuming a network resource, (ii) adding, to a configuration of the quality of service engine, a fourth priority factor that establishes two tiers of priority among applications that generate traffic that is regulated by the quality of service engine, and (6) regulating, by the quality of service engine based on the fourth priority factor, network traffic in the network storage environment by providing access to the network resource to an application assigned a higher priority over another application assigned a lower priority such that the fourth priority factor enables the quality of service engine to adhere to a service level agreement. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
