Presentation Title: Database I/O Performance: Measuring and Planning
Presentation Abstract:
As data volumes are growing exponentially these days, databases need to process more and more data in shorter amounts of time. Many disruptive technologies have also emerged such as flash-based storage, large server memory footprint, InfiniBand, etc. In such a rapidly changing environment, storage I/O performance tuning and planning easily becomes the task of applying best practices and "black magic" rules. In order to adopt a more sound, scientific approach to I/O performance diagnostics and planning, one needs to master the foundation - measuring I/O performance. This is exactly the focus of this presentation - practical I/O performance measurement and planning.
