3 Critical Storage Performance Architecture Considerations

Architecture matters and storage architecture is being optimized from many different directions to make it faster and cheaper, as detailed in the recent Baron’s article “Tech Vets Vie for New Storage Supremacy.” The article about four companies that are trying to develop the next generation of computing storage to be cheaper from its current $3.00 . . . → Read More: 3 Critical Storage Performance Architecture Considerations

IBM DB2 BLU Best Database I/O Performance

As I talked about database I/O performance the last three weeks here, here, and here, optimizing database I/O performance involves many different factors. When I left off last week I talked about the parameters for pinning your popular objects into DB2’s buffer pools to . . . → Read More: IBM DB2 BLU Best Database I/O Performance

Going Deeper into Improving Database I/O Performance

As I talked about last week, and the week before, tuning application and database performance by optimizing database I/O performance involves many different components. When I left off last week I referenced that the physical I/O path components need to be tracked back through the FICON channels, the storage device cache and then . . . → Read More: Going Deeper into Improving Database I/O Performance

3 More Ways to Improve Database I/O Performance

As I talked about last week, the application and database performance involves constantly analyzing different DB2 I/O aspects of your environment. By analyzing the DB2 I/O reports you’ll discover there are many different aspects to examine to optimize your environment, application workload, and processing.
