As vSAN (virtual storage area network) adoption grows, optimizing performance is critical. DymaxIO®, with its patented IntelliMemory® and IntelliWrite® technologies, enhances vSAN by reducing unnecessary I/O operations before they reach the storage layer. While vSAN manages the virtualized storage backend, DymaxIO ensures efficient use of [...]
With all the myriad of possible hardware solutions to storage I/O performance issues, the question that people are starting to ask is something like: If I just buy newer, faster Storage, won’t that fix my application performance problem? The short answer is: Maybe [...]
If users are complaining that applications are slow, reports take forever to run, or performance degrades under load—but storage, CPUs, and memory all look fine—you’re not alone. This is one of the most common and frustrating performance scenarios in Windows server environments, especially for SQL [...]
Slow PC? Restore Your PC's Speed and Performance Do you remember what it was like when your PC was brand-new? Do you remember the feeling of exhilaration at its speed and responsiveness compared to your old PC? Does your PC seem slower today? Chances are, [...]
Low Free Space Impact on Storage Performance In the last few months, I was approached by three different companies that were frantic because they were experiencing an EXTREME fragmentation issue. Not just files that were in hundreds or thousands of fragments, but in millions! Of [...]
IT professionals often ask the question: does storage affect performance when applications slow down and users start complaining. Storage is a logical place to look—especially when systems are under load and response times degrade. But in many Windows environments, storage hardware isn’t actually the problem. [...]
First, let me explain exactly what the I/O Blender Effect is, and why it causes a problem in virtualized environments such as those from VMware or Microsoft’s Hyper-V. This is typically what storage I/O traffic would look like when everything is working well. You have [...]
You just went out and upgraded your storage to all-flash. Or, maybe you have moved your systems to the cloud where you can choose the SLA to get the performance you want. We can provide you with a secret weapon that will make you continue [...]
