SUMMARY: Understanding the types of available arrays and what the particular performance metrics of those arrays are, can help you gain a better understanding of how to optimize your storage operation. In this podcast with president of Silverton Consulting, Ray Lucchesi, you'll quickly learn the very technical merits of different types of disk. Ray uncovers throughput, seek times, capacity and other disk specs in a side-by-side comparison of disk classes. Ray also touches on disk caching and transfer speeds.

In lesson three of SearchStorage.com's array performance podcast series, Ray Lucchesi exposes you to these hard to quantify areas which can impact I/O performance. Once you have optimized the primary performance drivers, you might want to look at these secondary points that can be used to produce additional performance gains and insights into your workload performance.

BakBone-E&I-ML&RL-RTO&RPO.mp3
Matt Law senior product marketing manager at BakBone interviews Ray Lucchesi, on backup or data protection recovery point and recovery time objectives (RPO & RTO). RPO and RTO are defined and their impact on data protection policies is discussed. These objectives can change depending on the criticality of the data and may vary considerably. Also the cost of adhering to more demanding RTO and RPO go up considerably in comparison to relatively relaxed RTO and RPO of less important data.
