Abstract
A method and system for throttling a plurality of operations of a plurality of applications that share a plurality of resources. A difference between observed and predicted workloads is computed. If the difference does not exceed a threshold, a multi-strategy finder operates in normal mode and applies a recursive greedy pruning process with a look-back and look-forward optimization to select actions for a final schedule of actions that improve the utility of a data storage system. If the difference exceeds the threshold, the multi-strategy finder operates in unexpected mode and applies a defensive action selection process to select actions for the final schedule. The selected actions are performed according to the final schedule and include throttling of a CPU, network, and/or storage.
