    Abstract: Various systems and methods for managing quality of storage service in a virtual network are described herein. A system for managing quality of service in a virtual network includes an analytic platform configured to analyze input/output operations by a virtual host on a storage array in a virtual network, the virtual host identified with a virtual network identifier (VNI), and the virtual network identified by a virtual host address (VHA); and a security controller to: receive, from the analytic platform, storage array metrics associated with the VNI and the VHA; determine that the storage array metrics violate a threshold condition; and cause a responsive action to adjust the operating environment of the virtual host to maintain quality of input/output service for hosts sharing the storage array.

    Abstract: Examples herein relate to polling for input/output transactions of a network interface or a storage device, or any peripheral device. Some examples monitor clock cycles spent checking for a presence of input/output (I/O) events and processing I/O events and monitor clock cycles spent checking for presence of I/O events without completing an I/O event. Central processing unit (CPU) core utilization can be based on clock cycles spent checking for a presence of I/O events and processing I/O events and clock cycles spent checking for presence of I/O events without completion of an I/O event. For example, if core utilization is below a threshold, frequency of the core can be reduced for performing polling of I/O events. If core utilization is at or above the threshold, frequency of the core can be increased used to performing polling of I/O events.

    Abstract: A computer program product, system, and method to manage access to storage resources from multiple applications. A plurality of virtual controllers is generated in a host memory space. Each virtual controller includes at least one virtual namespace that maps to a physical namespace in a physical controller. Applications are assigned to the virtual controllers. For each application of the applications assigned one of the virtual controllers, a virtual submission queue is generated to communicate with the virtual controller assigned to the application. An Input/Output (I/O) request to a target virtual namespace in one of the virtual submission queues is added to a physical submission queue for the physical controller having the physical namespace for which the target virtual namespace was generated.

    Abstract: Embodiments include apparatuses, methods, and systems including one or more servers and one or more storage devices, coupled with each other, to provide virtual storage service to store a file and meta data of the file for a client computing device. The file and the meta data of the file may be encrypted by the client computing device before providing to the virtual storage service. The file may be encrypted with a secret key of the client computing device, and the meta data of the file may be encrypted with a shared session key between the client computing device and the virtual storage service. The encrypted file may be stored in the one or more storage devices, and the encrypted meta data of the file may be stored in one or more secured areas of the one or more servers. Other embodiments may also be described and claimed.
