Operation Type Concurrency In Data Storage Environments

A method of operating a storage controller, the method comprising:

• identifying, by the storage controller, a storage operation associated with an application;
• identifying, by the storage controller, an available worker thread from a pool of available worker threads for executing the storage operation;
• determining, by the storage controller, whether to allocate the available worker thread to the storage operation based on an application concurrency limit associated with the application and based on an operation concurrency limit associated with a type of the storage operation;
• and
• in response to determining to allocate the available worker thread to the storage operation, executing the storage operation using the available worker thread.

One or more computer readable storage media having program instructions stored thereon that, when read and executed by one or more processors of a computing apparatus, direct the computing apparatus to at least:

• identify a storage operation associated with an application;
• identify an available worker thread from a pool of available worker threads for executing the storage operation,
• determine whether to allocate the available worker thread to the storage operation based on an application concurrency limit associated with the application and an operation concurrency limit associated with a type of the storage operation, wherein the operation concurrency limit is determined based on a storage performance metric associated with the storage operations;
• and
• in response to determining to allocate the available worker thread to the storage operation, execute the storage operation using the available worker thread.
