It is I/O wait. In simple words there is way too much writing/reading to/from drive(s) on the host node.

Possible solutions:
1) Add more drives to the array, or upgrade to faster drives, such as SAS or SSD.
2) Migrate some customers from this host node, as drives are clearly over-utilized.
3) Remove the abuser if that is the case.

It is hard to know without knowing numbers from host node and hardware specs of host node.
