What is QoS

QoS (Quality of Service) refers to the practices, processes and technologies employed by administrators, ensuring end users have a positive experience with IT resources. Managing QoS requires tools depending on the particular resource being measured for quality, such as a network application, a storage resource, or even an end user’s machine. Maintaining target QoS levels requires administrators to continuously monitor the health of managed services or devices.
