Mixed Workloads: The Real Killer of Application Performance
Eyal Markovich, Performance Director, Kaminario; Brian Evans, Sr. Director Americas Field Eng., Kaminario
Recorded:
Jun 13 2013
42 mins
Over 75% of the application performance problems exist today because of poor performing storage in either IOPS, bandwidth or latency. Achieving ideal storage performance becomes a greater challenge the more diverse and complex the workload, which can ultimately bring storage performance to its knees. Many flash array vendors claim to solve application performance challenges, yet few can keep their performance promises with today’s demands on storage.
In this webcast, we will discuss real world mixed workload requirements for applications focusing on two common use cases – virtualization and SAP. The lessons learned will be valid for all business critical applications. We will focus on how to test mixed workloads and what results to look for from a high performance SSD storage. -
