Abstract
A system includes servers accessing storage through a storage area network. The storage has a plurality of ports which may differ in data transfer speed, and memory resources connected to these ports. Data transmission between a port and a server is monitored. If the amount of data transfer exceeds prescribed limits, then a different port is selected, and that port is used for further communications.
