‒ Increasing users or volume of data, adding modules etc
At higher IOPS, response times increase
‒ Legacy disk systems have unpredictable performance

A Violin 6616 flash memory array can
service 1,000,000 IOPS

26. Application Throughput
Bandwidth describes the volume
of data that can be delivered to

bandwidth in order to complete processing within the batch window

The most important question to ask here is: “How would this change your behaviour?”If I/O stopped being a finite resource and effectively became infinite:Think of all the things you could stop doing…Think of all the things you could do now that you couldn’t do before…
Using disk means coping with poor performance. Coping strategies have to be put in place to try and mitigate this performance. Those strategies include Quality of Service (QoS) policies, Resource Management tools and the introduction of various complex buffering and caching algorithms in order to try and evenly distribute the resource. These mitigation strategies have their own cost, both in terms of overhead and also management: for example, designing and maintaining a QoS policy for hundreds or thousands of consumers would require a large amount of administration.RAID offers a massive set of permutations which need to be considered when provisioning disks: RAID level (0,1,2,3,4,5,6,10), disk type (SAS, SATA, FC, SSD), disk size, stripe size etc. For each different file type these permutations must be considered, resulting in a lengthy design process which is complex and subjective.
DON’T LABEL THE APPLICATION GOALS HERE AS VIOLIN’S BECAUSE IT SOUNDS TOO MUCH LIKE SALES. TALK ABOUT THESE BEING APPLICATION GOALS IN GENERAL FOR FLASH STORAGEViolin Memory has three important goals within the application space:Increase Agility: allowing you to do more with your applications, to react faster and be more dynamic. Business agility is about having the ability to react quickly and cost effectively to changes in the business environment.Reduce Cost: flash memory frees the constraints of your existing infrastructure to allow more return on investment; as a storage solution it has lower operational costs (power, cooling, data centre footprint) and can allow for a reduction in CPU-based software licenses (e.g. Oracle Database)Reduce Risk: by taking away the resource limits imposed by legacy disk storage systems, flash memory allows for a greater protection against saturation points and the resulting consequences such as missed SLAs and system unavailability; the incredible capability of Violin Memory flash memory arrays means that exceptional peaks in demand can be tolerated with negligible impact on performance
For the oracle user group presentations I am highlighting that the talk will cover the “Accelerate” part of the journey but explain that the journey leads to consolidate,virtualise and unleashAgain don’t talk about the application journey in context to Violin because it is a sale push. Talk about the application journey in relation to flash. I have changed the name to The Flash Application JourneyThe Violin Application Journey begins with disparate applications which are being held back by legacy infrastructure issues such as I/O constraints. These applications are often running on complex systems which have many different exceptions in the way they are managed. Customers often view the virtualised, private-cloud style goal as a utopia which is beyond their reach. Violin allows that journey to take place without the need for massive investment in a complete new hardware stack.In the first phase of acceleration, applications are unleashed from the constraints inherent with disk technology and allowed to perform at the true speed of flash memory. This allows users to get more results and process more data, whilst existing server infrastructure is given a new lease of life. Issues such as SLAs no longer remain a priority as the performance of reports and batch runs is improved many times over. As a result, the customer has room to manoeuvre and start planning the implementation of the next stage.In the consolidation stage, customers begin to migrate systems on to a single, consolidated environment. This allows for great reductions in operating costs and in particular Oracle licenses. Due to the standardised nature of consolidation environments (i.e. every system looks the same and is managed in the same way), systems become more manageable and service levels increase as a result. Violin provides a key advantage here in allowing for a greater density, i.e. more systems to be migrated to each physical platform.The final stage is virtualisation, which gives customers the ability to provide their end users with self-service options. Virtualisation brings a wealth of advantages: automatic provisioning of environments, cloning of environments for backups, test or development systems, migration of virtual machines to limit the impact of planned maintenance. The performance impact of the virtualisation layer is minimised due to the incredible performance of Violin flash memory, which again allows for the density of virtual to physical systems to be maximised.The use of Violin flash memory allows the customer to unlock their existing infrastructure and then achieve the maximum cost savings from consolidating and virtualising.
In the IT industry there are many areas of specialist expertise. For example, in a typical application deployment there will be end users using an application… which runs on a database… which runs on a number of servers… which utilise data kept on a storage system. It is commonplace for each of these different entities to have differing sets of personnel administering them. It is also common for each of these different administration roles to use different terminology to describe events which impact many or all layers of this stack.In the example, an application user complains that the system appears to be “slow” based on their perception of the application’s performance. A report of this type would usually work its way down the stack being checked at each level. So in this instance the database administrator checks to see if there are performance issues on the database and reports that there is a high amount of “wait time” associated with I/O. This may then be checked by the Operating System Administrator who confirms that the server shows a high amount of “IOWAIT”. Finally this falls to the Storage Administrator who checks the storage system and reports that, due to the storage system being pushed to capacity, the “latency” of I/O requests is very high, causing the performance issues.Although these terms have subtle differences at each level, they all correspond to the same simple issue: a saturated storage system causes the application users to complain that the system is slow.
Latency is important for highly transactional (OLTP ) applications which require fast response times. Examples include call centre systems, CRM, trading, e-Business etc where real-time data is critical and the millisecond latency of spinning disk has a direct negative impact on revenue.IOPS (IOs Per Second) are required for scaling applications and increasing the workload, which most commonly means one of three things: in the OLTP space, increasing the number of concurrent users; in the datawarehouse space increasing the parallelism of batch processes, or in the consolidating / virtualisation space increasing the number of databases located on a single platform.Bandwidth / Throughput is a critical requirement for datawarehouse-type workloads where massive amounts of data need to be processed in order to aggregate and report, or identify trends. Increased throughput allows for batch processes to complete in reduced amounts of time.
