Abstract
Methods and systems for managing resources in a networked storage environment are provided. One method includes using a queuing model for a resource that processes a plurality of requests at a networked storage environment for predicting a relationship between latency and utilization of the resource. The queueing model uses inter-arrival time and service time to determine latency, where inter-arrival time is a duration that tracks when requests arrive at the resource and the service time tracks a duration for servicing the requests by the resource. The method further includes identifying optimum utilization of the resource using the predicted relationship between latency and utilization, where the optimum utilization is an indicator of resource utilization beyond which throughput gains for a workload is smaller than increase in latency; and determining available performance capacity for the resource using the optimum utilization and actual utilization of the resource.
