IntelliMagic Vision for SAN
End-to-End SAN Performance, Capacity, and Configuration Monitoring
In this video, we show how you can determine good flash candidates in your environment.
For the last few years, we have heard how flash technology will completely disrupt the data center, and you may have already added flash technology to your data center. If you are getting ready to add flash, it is important to see how much of your capacity is a good candidate for flash because even though flash is much less expensive than it used to be and is almost on par with spinning disks, it is still more expensive than nearline drives.
It has been suggested that in order to maximize throughput for large sequential operations on SVC volumes residing entirely on IBM Flash systems, you should consider disabling the write cache.
Modeling how current and future workloads will handle your storage configuration is especially useful before making a costly Flash purchase.
Flash has many benefits, but it's still costly. This blog demonstrates how it is possible to determine how much Flash is important to add, and how much would be a wasted spend.
