Impact of Performance & Availability

Slow andinaccessibleapplications

Dissatisfied users

Productivity loss Lost revenue

Storage Complexity is Growing at Unsustainable Rates

Different models Different generations

Different vendors Different disk interfaces

Virtualization Introduces Performance Barriers…

Virtualization highlyrandomizes I/O

Copyright © 2013 DataCore Software Corp. – All Rights Reserved. 7

…and Service Interruptions

n1, n2, n3 workloads

Virtualized applications are not accessible when

a server goes down

Traditional I/O Bottleneck Reduction Approaches

Database and Application Re-design and Tuning

Limited effect; Time consuming; Labor intensive; Costly

Adding CPU and Memory Does not help if system is I/O bound

Server Hardware Caching Complex, Reliability and Scalability Concerns, Vendor Lock In

Add Hard Disk Drives Costly; Power, cooling, and footprint inefficient; performance constrained

Traditional Storage System Caching

Hit Rate Limited; Random Reads / Writes Performance Issues; Disks Still Bottleneck
