Application and File System Acceleration with Solid State Storage
The data storage industry is experiencing a mini renaissance as a flurry of new solid state storage devices come to market. SSDs are now available in a broad spectrum of price, form factor, and performance. It is hard enough for a storage architect to sort out the myriad of choices, but that is nothing compared to the challenge of figuring out how to deploy SSD technology in an affordable and effective way.
This lecture focuses on practical approaches for integrating SSD technology into your existing storage infrastructure. We explore different insertion points in the storage I/O path, and reveal a variety of methods for accelerating databases, email systems, virtualization platforms, content repositories, local file systems and network file systems (NAS).
Topics include:
- Types of flash media: SLC, MCL, eMLC, DRAM
- Packaging options for solid state storage
- Differentiating random from sequential disk I/O patterns
- SQL database acceleration
- MS Exchange acceleration
- File system tiering and acceleration
- Dynamic tiered storage in SAN arrays
- 3rd-party caching appliances
- Pairing solid state storage with deduplication
