1. A method for managing data, the method comprising:

  • collecting workload information for a device for a present time period and one or more previous time periods;

    determining a maximum workload parameter for the present time period and the one or more previous time periods;

    determining a maximum workload threshold that corresponds to the maximum workload parameter;

    computing a difference between the maximum workload threshold and the maximum workload parameter in response to a determination that the maximum workload parameter is less than the maximum workload threshold;

    determining an amount of workload to move to the device based on the difference; and

    preventing movement of additional workload to the device over the present time period in response to a determination that the maximum workload parameter is at least as great as the maximum workload threshold.
