Benchmarking Performance: Benefits of PCIe NVMe SSDs for Client WorkloadsSamsung Business USA
The transition from Serial ATA (SATA ) to Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe) interface and Non-Volatile Memory Express (NVMe) protocol is taking client storage to a new level. This white paper discusses the benefits that PCIe NVMe SSDs, such as Samsung’s 950 PRO, bring to client PC users. Client PC workloads are not always well understood in the industry, since common benchmarking utilities tend to focus on measuring maximum performance rather than performance under typical PC usage. This white paper looks at actual IO traces of PC workloads to better understand how client SSDs should be benchmarked, and also tests the 950 PRO against other Samsung SSDs to show how PCIe and NVMe improve IO performance in tests that represent real-world IO activity.
The bottleneck in flash storage is often the interface. SAS/SATA interfaces were designed specifically for hard disk drives not for flash media. For example, flash storage can support many more simultaneous I/O operations. The resolution to the problem is to use a different interface, one that is higher throughput and is more directly accessible from the CPU. Leveraging one of these interfaces and extracting optimal performance from the flash media means leaving the confines of the SCSI protocol with customized proprietary drivers. The result is complexity and slow innovation.
This short paper discusses the work happening in the Fibre Channel Industry Association's T-11 committee to develop a new low latency protocol for a flash drive world. This paper is an excellent introduction to it.
Yesterday's thinking may still believe NVMe (NVM Express) is in transition to a production ready solution. In this session, we will discuss how the evolution of NVMe is ready for production, the history and evolution of NVMe and the Linux stack to address where NVMe has progressed today to become the low latency, highly reliable database key value store mechanism that will drive the future of cloud expansion. Examples of protocol efficiencies and types of storage engines that are optimizing for NVMe will be discussed. Please join us for an exciting session where in-memory computing and persistence have evolved.

Abstract:
With the ever growing size and complexity of enterprise systems there is a pressing need for more detailed application performance management. Due to the high data rates, traditional database technology cannot sustain the required performance. Alternatives are the more lightweight and, thus, more performant key-value stores. However, these systems tend to sacrifice read performance in order to obtain the desired write throughput by avoiding random disk access in favor of fast sequential accesses.
With the advent of SSDs, built upon the philosophy of no moving parts, the boundary between sequential vs. random access is now becoming blurred. This provides a unique opportunity to extend the storage memory hierarchy using SSDs in key-value stores. In this paper, we extensively evaluate the benefits of using SSDs in commercialized key-value stores. In particular, we
investigate the performance of hybrid SSD-HDD systems and demonstrate the benefits of our SSD caching and our novel dynamic schema model.
Historically, the tradeoff of hard disk drives (HDDs) versus solid state drives (SSDs) in enterprises has revolved around three variables: capacity, endurance and price. This whitepaper looks at how increased capacity and durability is expanding SSD applications in the data center.

Do more Apache Cassandra distributed database work with AMD EPYC 7601 processorsPrincipled Technologies
Private clouds require an investment in hardware that can often be costly—a cost that grows along with the size of distributed database workloads a business deploys. The new AMD EPYC processor architecture can help ease that burden by increasing the available number of cores per socket, which could let businesses get more distributed database work done per server compared to a previous generation Intel Xeon E5-2699 v4 processor architecture. In our tests, we found that a cluster based on 32-core AMD EPYC 7601 processors increased the operations per second an Apache Cassandra distributed database could process by 50 percent over a same-sized cluster based on 22-core Intel Xeon processors E5-2699 v4.3 This means that businesses seeking to run these reliable, elastic databases on a private cloud setup could do so on an AMD EPYC 7601 processor-based server platform and experience faster updates and shorter data load times.
Choosing the Right SSD: Consumer, Workstream and Enterprise SSDsSamsung Business USA
Solid state drives (SSDs) are the top technology in storage right now, combining the best of speed, reliability and form factor. IT managers may be looking to upgrade older systems with hard drives to SSD, or older SSDs to newer, faster or higher capacity SSDs. Since SSDs are now in their fourth generation, everything about these types of drives have greatly improved.
In-memory computing is a reality. So are the limits of memory capacity. Data size constantly increases, while application developers and IT staff push for in-memory efficiencies; the conclusion is inevitable: we need to be able to access more memory than the DRAM capacity that the server provides. ScaleMP’s Software Defined Memory (SDM) technology allows for more system memory to be available per server, far beyond the hardware limits, by utilizing memory from other nodes (over fabric) or from locally installed non-volatile memory (NVM) such as NAND Flash or 3D XPoint – transparently and without any changes to operating system or applications. We shall present the benefits of SDM, discuss the relevant use-cases, and share performance data.

Dell PowerEdge R930 with Oracle: The benefits of upgrading to Samsung NVMe PC...Principled Technologies
Strong server performance is essential to companies running Oracle Database. The new Dell PowerEdge R930 provided strong performance with 22 SAS HDDs, but this performance improved when we replaced all of the drives with SAS solid-state drives. It improved further when we used a mix of HDDs and SDDs along with a caching solution. We saw the greatest performance boost when we used eight Samsung-powered NVMe PCIe SSDs. The upgraded configurations of the Dell PowerEdge R930 with Samsung-powered NVMe PCIe SSDs delivered up to 13.9 times the database performance of the all-HDD configuration. This makes the new Dell PowerEdge R930 a powerful platform with scalable storage options that can potentially translate into significant service improvements for your business and your customers, which helps in maximizing ROI.

6 ways Samsung Kiosk gives retailers an all-in-one self-service solutionSamsung Business USA
Self-service retail solutions have been gaining popularity for years, and COVID-19 rapidly accelerated the widespread adoption of contactless technology. Now, consumers expect self-service options everywhere they shop — from checking out at the grocery store to placing an order at a furniture outlet.
According to the 2021 State of Self-Checkout Experiences report from Retail Today, 60 percent of the 1,000 respondents said they opt for a self-service kiosk rather than a cashier whenever possible. The demand for convenience and increased safety isn't likely to wane, so retailers must find ways to meet this demand, or risk losing customers to competing brands that do offer self-service.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
