Abstract

A method for throttling host throughput in a computer storage subsystem is provided. The host throughput is compared to a throughput limit for a predetermined time period. If the host throughput exceeds the throughput limit during the predetermined time period, an input/output (I/O) delay is set equal to the remainder of the predetermined time period, and the delay is implemented for an associated storage device of the computer storage subsystem.
