Allocating network bandwidth to prefetch requests to prefetch data from a remote storage to cache in a local storage

摘要

Provided are a computer program product, system, and method for allocating network bandwidth to prefetch requests to prefetch data from a remote storage to cache in a local storage. A determination is made of access rates for applications accessing a plurality of files, wherein the access rate is based on a rate of application access of the file over a period of time. A determination is made of an access rate weight for each of the files based on the access rates of the plurality of files. The determined access rate weight for each of the files is used to determine network bandwidth to assign to access the files from the remote storage to store in the local storage.
