Virtualization Performance

Downtime is simply not an option when it comes to virtualization performance. It isn’t unreasonable for the business to expect 100% uptime, yet there are many facets that impact performance—from poor technology to excessive demands. Companies require the best possible performance at all times, and yet the potential for downtime lurks in every corner. Discover how to implement an architecture that provides ideal protection from outages.

Virtual Server Performance – Why Solid-State Storage Isn’t Enough

When a host server fails to deliver a sufficient level of IOPS, the solution is often to invest in solid-state storage. As many organizations have discovered, however, solid-state storage is a costly solution that may only temporarily correct the problem. Like any other storage technology, there is a limit to the number of IOPS that solid-state storage can deliver, and it is often only a matter of time before this limit is reached and the performance problems return. Continue Reading

Flash Without Downtime

All-flash arrays are typically purchased to address specific point performance problems in the enterprise. Once the initial issue has been resolved these systems often have performance to spare and IT professionals begin to leverage them elsewhere in the data center. As more workloads are added to the array, a zero downtime storage architecture becomes vital. Continue Reading
