Abstract
Methods and apparatus are provided for allowing quality of service (QoS) configuration for storage applications running on servers connected to a storage area network (SAN). Resources such as host bus adapters (HBAs) are offloaded from individual servers onto a resource virtualization switch. Servers are connected to the resource virtualization switch using an I/O bus connection. The resource virtualization switch provides storage applications running on connected servers with different quality of service levels. The resource virtualization switch can also apply traffic shaping policies associated with QoS.
