Volatile account identification and isolation and resource management in distributed data storage systems

A traffic manager for a distributed data storage system includes an iterative spike identifier to identify N levels of traffic spikes in traffic data on an account basis in a distributed data storage system, where N is greater than zero. A traffic cycle identifier selectively identifies cyclic traffic spikes in at least one of the N levels of traffic spikes for each of a plurality of accounts using autocorrelation and peak detection. A partition manager communicates with the traffic cycle identifier and selectively partitions one of the plurality of accounts based on based on the autocorrelation and the peak detection.
