• <strong>Solv<strong>in</strong>g</strong> I/O Problems<br />

• I/O <strong>Bottleneck</strong>s occur at multiple places <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> Compute Stack, <strong>the</strong> largest<br />

be<strong>in</strong>g at Storage I/O<br />

• SSD comes out cheaper/<strong>IO</strong>P for <strong>IO</strong> Intensive Apps<br />

• To get of Reads – Improve Index<strong>in</strong>g, archive out old data<br />

• M<strong>in</strong>imize <strong>the</strong> impact of writes – Get rid of temp tables/filesorts on slow<br />

disks.<br />

• Compress big varchar/text/blobs<br />

• Data Forensics and Tiered Placement<br />

• Every workload has unique I/O access signature<br />

• Historical performance data for a LUN can identify performance skews &<br />

hot data regions by LBAs<br />

• Use Smart Tier<strong>in</strong>g to identify hot LBA regions and non-disruptively migrate<br />

hot data from HDD to SSDs.<br />

• Typically 4-8% of data becomes a candidate and when migrated to SSDs<br />

can provide response time reduction of ~65% at peak loads<br />
