Which Applications Can Benefit from V-Series with RamSan?
You’re probably already starting to guess which applications are likely to benefit from the reduced latency and impressive throughput that the VSeries/RamSan combination can provide. In general, applications with random I/O workloads benefit from the use of flash memory devices, while sequential workloads do not. Online Transaction Processing (OLTP) and other database applications are fairly obvious candidates. If an entire database fits within RamSan storage capacity, it will immediately benefit from the solution’s latency and throughput. For larger databases, you can leverage the improved latency of RamSan by storing just your hot files—such as redo logs, indexes, and temp space—on the RamSan and putting the rest of the database on hard disk drives. Generally, any application where the entire data set, or the active data set, fits in RamSan memory may be a good candidate, especially when that data set is accessed by multiple servers working in parallel.
