Technologies for offloading I/O intensive workload phases to a data storage sled include a compute sled. The compute sled is to execute a workload that includes multiple phases. Each phase is indicative of a different resource utilization over a time period. Additionally, the compute sled is to identify an I/O intensive phase of the workload, wherein the amount of data to be communicated through a network path between the compute sled and the data storage sled to execute the I/O intensive phase satisfies a predefined threshold. The compute sled is also to migrate the workload to the data storage sled to execute the I/O intensive phase locally on the data storage sled. Other embodiments as also described and claimed.
