How does Sun Flash Storage accelerate database performance?
For databases that are constrained by the speed of access to data, the inclusion of Flash can make dramatic improvements in application response times. There are two main ways you can do this to best advantage: 1. Data Pinning: Your technical staff will either know which data is most heavily used or know how to find that out. For many years, they have been placing that data on fast storage heroically constructed by striping this data across a large number of disks. Previously to increase performance they have added many more disks even if the extra capacity is not needed. Now all they do is move that same hot data to Flash arrays like the F5100 to boost performance dramatically without the drag on your budget. 2. Intelligent Software: Both Sun and Oracle have intelligence built in to their software to get the best from Flash devices automatically. In Sun’s case, the Solaris OS automatically accelerates applications and databases that utilize the Solaris ZFS system, meaning there is no
