Abstract

Techniques manage an access load of a storage system. For storage devices in the storage system, access histories of the storage devices in a previous time period are received respectively. Access loads of the storage devices in a future time period are determined respectively based on the access histories of the storage devices, the future time period being between a current time point and a future time point for performing future load balancing. An access balance degree of the storage system at the future time point is acquired based on the access loads. Load balancing is performed among the storage devices in response to determining that the access balance degree satisfies a first predetermined condition. Accordingly, it is possible to determine an access load of each storage device in a storage system more accurately and ensure that the access loads of the storage devices are in a balanced state.
