A system can comprise a memory that stores computer executable components, and a processor that executes the computer executable components stored in the memory. The computer executable components can comprise a correlation component that, based on performance data, such as current performance data and/or historical performance data, for an application stored at a storage system, correlates a performance category with the application, and an execution component that, based on the performance category correlated to the application, executes a modification at the storage system, wherein the modification at the storage system comprises changing a functioning of the storage system relative to the application. In an embodiment, the data comprised by the application can be maintained in a non-accessed state to execute the modification at the storage system.

Automated application detection and storage savings based on intelligent workload characterization

Methods, non-transitory machine readable media, and computing devices that assign a quality of service (QoS) policy to an instantiated storage object. The assigned QoS policy includes a throughput parameter including a number of input/output (I/O) operations per second (IOPS) based on a storage operation block size. Storage operations are executed with the storage object according to the throughput parameter. Metadata is monitored including a size attribute of the storage object. The QoS policy is then automatically modified to adjust the throughput parameter based on the size attribute. This technology configures, manages, and scales performance provided to storage objects based on a monitored used or allocated size of the storage objects. Accordingly, this technology provides more performance for applications as storage object space is increasingly consumed by the applications, thereby improving the functionality and efficiency of storage nodes or controllers that are executing storage operations and managing I/O in storage networks.
