Organizations continually search for ways to both simplify storage management processes and improve storage capacity utilization. Several products have been released over the past few years that promise efficient use of storage space. One of the technologies that is quickly catching up is thin provisioning. 3PAR was one of the first vendors to introduce the concept while the rest quickly followed the suite.When provisioning storage for a new application, administrators must consider that application’s future capacity requirements...
What is “Tier 0” in Storage Environments?
Tier "0" is not new in storage market but for implementation purposes it has been difficult to accommodate because it requires best performance and lowest latency. Enterprise Flash disks (Solid State Disks) capable to meet this requirement. It is possible to get more performance for company most critical applications. The performance can be gained through using Flash drives supported in VMAX and DMX-4 systems. Read More →
Performance tuning has always been a challenge for System administrators and Database administrators for a long time. As virtualization continues to grow in every aspect of the IT infrastructure, tuning the OS, DB or storage tends to become even more complex.Apart from CPU power and memory size, disk subsystem handles the movement of data on the computer system and has a powerful influence on its overall response. Also performance disk layout must also be designed to provide appropriate data protection with overall cost in...

For best performance with most applications, each SP should have its maximum amount of cache memory and you should use the default settings for the cache properties. Analyzer shows how the cache affects the storage system, and lets you tune the cache properties to best suit your application.A storage-system cache has two parts: a read cache and a write cache. The read cache uses a read-ahead mechanism that lets the storage system prefetch data from the disk. Therefore the data will be ready in the cache when the application...
