Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention include systems and methods for controlling input-output (IO) requests of a plurality of virtual machines to a datastore. The method includes: monitoring, for each virtual machine, a throughput of IO to a datastore for a preset time interval; identifying a peak value of the throughput; calculating a value of input-output-per-second (IOPS) using the peak value; and setting the value of IOPS as an IOPS limit for a corresponding virtual machine.
