Updating storage migration rates

A computer-implemented method comprising:

• identifying a storage migration, said storage migration being associated with a storage area network, said storage migration having a storage migration rate associated therewith;
• identifying an input/output throughput, said input/output throughput being associated with said storage area network, said input/output throughput storing a throughput rate for said storage area network;
• identifying a service level agreement rate for said input/output throughput;
• identifying a non-essential workload, said non-essential workload storing a non-essential workload rate associated therewith, said non-essential workload comprising that portion of said input/output throughput that is for one or more background processes;
• determining an analyzed rate based on said throughput rate, said service level agreement rate, and said non-essential workload rate;
• wherein determining said analyzed rate comprises:
• analyzing said throughput rate, analyzing said service level agreement rate, and analyzing said non-essential workload rate to yield an analyzed rate is based on predictive analytics, the predictive analytics predicting how removing said non-essential workload from said input/output throughput will impact said storage migration rate;
• wherein said predictive analytics is based on a normal autoregressive integrated moving average model;
• and
• generating an analytics profile, the analytics profile storing variables associated with previous rates;
• and
• updating said storage migration rate based on said analyzed rate and said analytics profile,
• wherein updating said storage migration based on said analyzed rate includes updating a priority level associated with said storage migration, and
• wherein updating said storage migration based on said analyzed rate includes reducing said non-essential workload rate.
