Whitepaper: Best Practices for Eliminating Fragmentation With Modern Storage Technologies (SAN/RAID/Virtualization)
LONDON, August 4, 2011/PRNewswire/ --
Due to the significant complexity and breadth of the software and
hardware used in modern storage environments, from disk-level technologies
to massively scalable network storage facilities, there are many myths and
misconceptions regarding the continuing need for a solution to
fragmentation. Although, it is understandably easy to accept many of them as
replacements for eliminating fragmentation as many seek to solve the same
issue, the fact remains that the disk is the weak link.
From the time non-volatile storage was introduced decades ago, there
have been layers of abstraction between the users/applications and those
devices. The fact that modern datacenters go well beyond the single direct
attached drive(s), and employ advanced storage infrastructures that add
additional layers of abstraction, does not eliminate the need to solve
fragmentation. In short, no matter how or where you store your data, solving
file fragmentation is as vital for peak system performance and reliability
as it has ever been.
The purpose of this paper is to briefly define these new storage
technologies, how they contribute to I/O throughput, and how the various new
solutions can work together with solutions to eliminate fragmentation for
optimal disk subsystem performance.
