In response to the increasing frequency and variety of cyber-attacks, businesses are looking to harness their volumes of security-relevant information to gain actionable and easy-to-understand information about threats and their potential and actual impact upon an organization.

Eyal Markovich, Performance Director, Kaminario; Brian Evans, Sr. Director Americas Field Eng., Kaminario
Recorded:
Jun 13 2013

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. -

This session will discuss the Technology Business Management (TBM) framework, which provides you with a mechanism to understand your storage consumption patterns and fully burdened costs, benchmark your storage costs against your peers, and communicate the value of storage to your users to drive accountability.
You will walk away with a crisp understanding of how you can improve return on storage assets and make informed decisions to balance storage utilization, demand, and cost.
