Most workloads are highly dependent upon a number of factors, including processor speed, memory capacity, network performance, storage capacity, and storage performance. Storage performance is often overlooked as a critical performance factor. A slow down or failure of storage often produces an application slowdown or failure.
As organizations increasingly turn to processing virtualization to make optimal use of their industry standard systems, they are considering the role that storage technologies will play in building the optimal storage environment.
This paper examines how storage performance impacts system performance, reliability, availability, and agility, and reviews what an ideal solution would be. The paper then compares Kaminario’s K2 family of solid-state SAN storage systems to the ideal solution.
