Abstract
The following white paper is extracted from the report: “How Many IOPS Is Enough?” coauthored by Coughlin Associates and Objective Analysis. The report details the results of two
end-user surveys performed by these companies in 2012 and again in 2016 in which IT managers shared their storage performance requirements across a range of applications. The report not only shows the performance requirements of a number of applications, but it also shows how these performance requirements have changed over the 4-year survey window.
