ISOLATING CLIENTS OF DISTRIBUTED STORAGE SYSTEMS

A distributed storage system (100) includes memory hosts (110), each including non-transitory memory (114) and a network interface controller (116) in communication with the memory and servicing remote direct memory access requests (122) from clients (120). The memory receives a data transfer rate (313) from each client in communication with the memory host through remote direct memory access. Each memory host also includes a data processor (112) in communication with the memory and the network interface controller. The data processor executes a host process (118) that reads each received client data transfer rate, determines a throttle data transfer rate (317) for each client, and writes each throttle data transfer rate to non-transitory memory accessible by the clients through remote direct memory access.
