As the virtualization landscape continues to evolve, software-defined storage solutions are becoming increasingly popular among enterprise IT teams. One of the most widely used solutions in this space is vSAN, a hyper-converged infrastructure technology from VMware. vSAN is a software-defined storage solution that runs natively on the VMware vSphere hypervisor, providing a fully integrated, software-defined …
NVMe, short for Non-Volatile Memory Express, is a technology that has revolutionized the way we think about storage in modern computing systems. NVMe is a new protocol that was designed specifically to take advantage of the speed and low latency of solid-state drives (SSDs) compared to traditional hard disk drives (HDDs). In this blog, we …
In modern data centers, virtualization has become a popular way to optimize hardware resources and increase the flexibility of IT infrastructures. VMware vSAN is a storage technology that allows you to create a hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI) by combining storage and compute resources into a single software-defined platform. With vSAN, you can create a distributed storage …
Concept Edit Image Before we go into the different sorts of queues, let’s first define “queue.” Every Saturday, I go to the store to get my weekly groceries. The supermarket is crowded because it is the weekend. Adding items to my cart is simple, but invoicing is the most difficult aspect. At the billing counter, …
Introduction Virtualization is the foundation of modern data centers, and VMware has been a leader in this field for many years. One of the most significant challenges in virtualization is storage management. As virtual machines are created and destroyed, managing storage resources can quickly become complex and challenging. VMware vSAN addresses this challenge by providing …
There is a significant distinction between VMware and Storage Snapshot, Alex. Let’s explore each one in sequence. Edit Image Storage Snapshot: A snapshot is a real-time copy of the production LUN. The original data on the Production LUN at the time of creation will be referenced by the snapshot. After the snapshot has been taken, …
Recently I got an opportunity from Customer Connect Learning to present the webinar for the customers. vVOL is the next step in the traditional storage space. In this webinar, I tried to take a deep dive into the vVOL architecture, discuss best practices and look at troubleshooting certificate issues. Webinar link: vVOL Deep Dive VMware’s …
The term read/write head takes to find the data on the disk platter. When IO operation occurs on the disk drive, the head needs to leap to the correct data position. The actual physical positioning of the read/write head called seeking. The amount of span the head takes to move from one place to other …
Sequential means forming or following in a logical order or sequence. Random is anonym of the Sequential which means that without any logical sequence. Let’s understand the concept with the explanation. We will also answer Mr Justin’s questions in detail. Sequential IOs: Edit Image As you see the IOs are flowing from A to G …
Organisations can choose from a variety of disaster recovery methods, or combine several: Back-up: This is the simplest type of disaster recovery and entails storing data off-site or on a removable drive. However, just backing up data provides only minimal business continuity help, as the IT infrastructure itself is not backed up. Cold Site: In this type …
What is Desaster? For an organisation, anything causing disruptions to operations can be termed as a disaster. It includes a system/server crash or a natural calamity that caused an outage for a complete site. The Desaster for me is that my laptop is not powering on or not able to start the required software or …
I was working as a support engineer in one of the Hardware giant. I was supporting Servers and Operating system. During this time, I got training for legacy storage from StorageTek. It was the first time I got exposed to storage technology. During the breaks, my classmates and I use to discuss the learnings. Here …
Before we talk about Performance lets, understand more about the “Spinning Rust”. The old Hard Drives Platters were coated in Iron Oxide, which is nothing but “Rust”. Hence the device is called “Spinning Rust”. In Morden days platters are made up of complex alloy coating on glass platters. But the name is stuck to the …
The Jargons used in the performance world. Some times they are overwhelming. Hence explaining them in the simplest way. Mr Sam and Mr Ron are friends. They both are daily wage workers. They both wanted to open a bank account in ABC bank. But Back is asking $500 as a deposit. Mr Sam earns $20 …
Technical Jargons Tried to explain the Jargons used in the performance world in the simplest form possible. Kindly let us know if you face any difficulty in understanding the concepts. Throughput Bandwidth Examples: A Shopping mall Edit Image The machine from the image is to be familiar to most of us. It is a People …
What exactly is “performance”? How well a gadget, software, or service performs in terms of reaction time.
