Release Notes

41 Analyzing Dell PS Series Storage with SAN Headquarters | TR1050
3.2.1.3 Example 2 - Performance planning: Conclusion
A new PS6210XV will have 24x15K disks and should be added to the group. The new member would handle the current
IOPS. However, the pent-up demand may indicate an additional member may need to be added to the pool. This sizing
methodology should be useful to help properly design a solution to meet the desired performance requirements.
3.3 Example 3: SQL application load example
For an application-relevant example, consider a Microsoft SQL load process. In this case, the application is simply
inserting data into new tables across multiple databases.
The Experimental Analysis panel below shows the load on the system. Notice that the estimated maximum IOPS
exceed the total average IOPS during this time line.
Next, observe the results to determine if there is a performance issue.
