The caching of content from disk storage to high-speed memory is a proven technology for reducing read latency and improving application-level performance. The problem with traditional caching, ...

A few entries ago I introduced the subject of latency as impedance to storage performance. The biggest area of concern is what impact storage latency has on application performance. This is an area ...

Bandwidth is a simple number that people think they understand. The bigger the number, the faster the storage. We'll see more change in the next decade than we've ever seen before in computer data ...

IOPS, latency and throughput/bandwidth are all interconnected. IOPS = (Throughput / Block Size) * 1024 Throughput in MBps = (IOPS * Block Size) / 1024 I understand how to convert IOPS to throughput ...

Business applications play a critical role in the organisation and represent the “face” of the business. Meanwhile, the ecosystems in which applications reside are now larger than ever and are ...

You've unpacked your eval unit -- now here's how to put together a test plan and kick it around the block before you buy The performance of primary storage is more likely to affect the performance of ...

The part 1 of this two-article series outlined the NAND flash technology and how it transitioned from 2D to 3D NAND flash. The article also explained the current challenges in the way of density ...

In the computing industry, we measure performance in a multitude of ways. As an example, in the digital storage space that my team and I work in, experts use measurements such as input/output ...

From a data storage perspective, the definition of latency is the time it takes for a data packet to travel from the initiator within the primary server to the target device. Excessive latency can be ...
