Average response time: Baseline vs. Fast Track enabled vs. Replay enabled Figure 8.
Based on the above test results, when the volumes were enabled with the Replay profile, we observed
that the query response time was 343 minutes, which is well below the baseline test and also the same
as the response time with Dell Compellent Fast Track enabled. With the above results, we conclude
that by enabling Replay, there is no impact on the performance.
Figure 9 shows the comparison of disk space consumed (in TB) for the baseline test and with Data
Instant Replay enabled.
