A system and method of input/output (I/O) workload analysis of the components in a storage area network (SAN) is disclosed. In one embodiment, a method for analyzing I/O workloads of components in the SAN includes determining host bus adapter (HBA) to storage port oversubscription ratios and HBA to inter-switch link (ISL) oversubscription ratios in the SAN, selecting a subset of the components for monitoring based on the HBA to storage port oversubscription ratios and the HBA to ISL oversubscription ratios, continuously monitoring the subset of the components and storing I/O statistics of the subset of the components, and forecasting expected I/O workloads of the subset of the components based on current I/O workloads associated with the I/O statistics of the subset of the components and respective I/O workload threshold values of the subset of the components.
