Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 18:
19. A computer program product disposed upon a non-transitory computer readable medium, the computer program product comprising computer program instructions that, when executed, cause a computer to carry out the steps of:
selecting, one or more storage devices, one or more groups of input/output (I/O) operations;
calculating, for the storage devices of the one or more storage devices, a normalized I/O operations per second (IOPS) value based on the corresponding group of I/O operations and a size scalar wherein the normalized FOPS value is calculated by dividing a size of each I/O operation by the size scalar;
determining that the normalized IOPS value is above a predefined normalized IOPS threshold for the one or more storage devices;
generating a cost to a user based on the determination that the normalized IOPS value is above the predefined normalized IOPS threshold for the one or more storage devices associated with the user; and
sending an alert to the user indicating the cost generated based on the determination that one or more normalized IOPS values for the storage devices associated with the user is above the predefined normalized IOPS threshold for the one or more storage devices.
