The typical performance metrics used to categorize flash performance are throughput and IOPS. The most important metric may actually be latency. The elimination of latency has become a top concern for customers and flash vendors. That has led to solutions that…
How to be intelligent about flash storage deployments Storage performance has become a “hot button” issue in the server virtualization era. While there is a need for high performance storage, such as flash and hybrid storage solutions, there is a…
For many organizations the benefits of virtualizing user desktop systems is hard to ignore – improved data protection, enhanced data security and the opportunity to drive improved resource and operational efficiencies. The challenge is unless the virtual desktop experience is…
Storage Switzerland recently completed a lab audit of a test performed by Brocade, Emulex and Violin Memory that achieved over two million IOPS. The report is available now and you can get a copy of it by attending our webinar,…
Storage Switzerland was recently commissioned by Brocade, Dell, Emulex and Violin Memory to audit a lab test in which we were able to design an environment that delivered over 2 million IOPS. As we went through the testing process I…
In a recent article, “What is I/O and why should you care”, we discussed what input and output (I/O) operations are and how a storage system’s ability to support these I/Os is a finite resource, one that’s arguably as important…
Recording data to a storage device requires two things, a place to put those bytes and a way to get them written to that device. Capacity is the first thing we think of when talking about a storage system, and…
