Described are techniques including a computer-implemented method that comprises defining a respective priority classification for each of a plurality of sockets used for communicating between an initiator computational system and a target computational system. The method further comprises automatically assigning a respective priority classification to each of a plurality of Input/Output (IO) requests based on a type of data associated with each IO request. The method further comprises sending the plurality of IO requests to respective sockets of the plurality of sockets with a matching priority classification.

Data traffic prioritization based on content

Computer implemented methods for selective data deduplication in a multitenant environment are disclosed. Data deduplication of blocks written to a storage area associated with a tenant and redundant copies of the blocks written to other storage areas of other tenants is permitted or prevented based on tagging the first storage area associated with the tenant with a particular type of parameter. Responsive to detecting a write operation directed to the storage area tagged with a parameter indicating that deduplication is not permitted, a block to be written to the storage area is modified prior to hashing the block. Responsive to detecting a write operation directed to the storage area tagged with a parameter indicating that deduplication is permitted, a block to be written to the storage area is prevented from being modified prior to hashing the block.

Selective data deduplication in a multitenant environment

Systems for synchronization of host and client log timestamps are provided. One system includes a timing module that acquires an initiator timestamp, wherein the initiator timestamp indicates a time on an initiating device associated with a computational activity performed between the initiating device and a receiving device. Additionally, the system includes a communication module that transmits the initiator timestamp to the receiving device. Also, the system includes a synchronization module that associates a receiver record of the computational activity on the receiving device with the initiator timestamp.
