Abstract

Storage-Assisted QoS. To provide storage-assisted QoS, a discriminatory storage system able to enforce a service discrimination policy within the storage system can include re-writable media; a storage system controller; a cache; and, a QoS enforcement processor configured to selectively evict entries in the cache according QoS terms propagated into the storage system through the storage system controller.
