What is Throughput

Throughput refers to the number of I/O requests handled by a device in a specific period of time. Throughput is typically expressed in number of requests per second. System monitoring utilities can record throughput figures in real time and record them for future analysis, or the utilities can alert system administrators if the figures fall outside of acceptable pre-set parameters.
