Abstract
In day-to-day operations, a storage infrastructure must effectively perform unique tasks, like data storage, backups, access validations, edits, deletes, analysis, etc. Any delay introduced at the storage level impacts user quality of experience (QoE). To ensure effective storage infrastructure, you must evaluate and optimize the system’s ability to perform under extreme environments. Strong and resilient storage not only must handle today’s data storm – business-critical financial transactions, the fire hose of big data, on-demand video and gaming, etc. – but also stores and protects the most precious artifacts of modern-world data.
