Abstract
Examples described herein are generally directed to providing a fair amount of throughput to multiple clients of a storage system. According to one example, the storage system determines system metrics based upon use of the storage system by the clients. A system load value is calculated based upon the system metrics. The system load value quantifies a load on the storage system by the clients. Client loads, each representing a contribution to the use of the storage system by an individual client, are calculated and expressed as a relative degree or amount of the system load value. A target performance value for a client is calculated based on the client load for the client and a quality of service parameter value provisioned for the client to access the storage system. Based on the target performance value, latency for the client is introduced or removed.
