Flash storage has been touted for several years now as the answer to inadequate database performance.  There are some very good reasons why this is so.  Flash storage is generally much faster than hard disk drives (HDD).  It has much lower latency, much greater write IOPS,  throughput, and read IOPS.  Therefore it must fix database performance problems! Not so fast.  Sometimes it does and sometimes it does not.  There are several flash issues such as write amplification, steady state performance, wear life, and electron leakage that can sabotage the performance gains while overwhelming the budget.  These issues are rarely discussed, except after the fact when performance is no longer meeting requirements.

This webinar examines these issues in detail looking at how they specifically affect databases and the structured applications that depend on those databases.  It then scrutinizes the pros and cons of common workarounds, recommends a better way, and then examines how Tegile’s IntelliFlashâ„¢ technology and products actually solve those unpleasant database fatal flash flaws.
