I/O controls enable you to meet the goals of your SLO.

SLAs specify a quality-of-service benchmark for an SLO. For storage I/O throughput, this benchmark is typically measured in IOPS or MBps. As a preemptive measure, Ops Center Analyzer enables you to set limits on storage I/O activity for applications on servers that issue too many I/O requests, and therefore provide sufficient resources in the infrastructure to meet the SLOs. After identifying the consumers with a specific SLO, select the volumes and set an upper limit to guarantee the quality-of-service benchmark for that SLO. You can set different storage I/O upper limits for consumers based on grade.
