Abstract

A performance-based workload/storage allocation system includes a workload/storage allocation device coupled via controller device(s) to storage devices that each include a respective storage device attribute structure having storage device attributes that identify performance capabilities of that storage device. The workload storage/allocation device identifies a first workload that requires storage resources, and retrieves first workload performance requirement(s) associated with the first workload. The workload storage/allocation device then retrieves the storage device attributes that identify the performance capabilities of each of the storage devices via the controller device(s) and from the respective storage device attribute structure included in each of the storage devices, and uses them to determine that at least one of the plurality of storage devices includes performance capabilities that satisfy the first workload performance requirement(s). The workload/storage allocation device then allocates the at least one of the plurality of storage devices for use with the first workload.
