Relative Application Level Latency Application Testing Results 1.0 0.13 87% BETTER RESPONSE TIMES Time Solution architecture consists of Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2, Cisco UCS C-460/M1 rack mount server and an EMC VNX5300. EMC tested the capabilities of VFCache. Testing employed a standard TPC-E like OLTP workload with a 750GB database and a 90/10 % read/write mix. VFCache enabled on all data LUNs, but not on log LUNs. No tuning of SQL database. Configuration Details: Read Cache on VNX5300 = 700MB, Write Cache on VNX5300 = 2000MB; 20 x 260 GB Data LUNs on 100 x 300 GB 10K RPM SAS drives (RAID 5), 1 x 500GB Log LUN on 4 x 300 GB 10K RPM SAS drives (RAID 10); Database buffer cache size 10GB; Server connected to VNX storage system using 4 x 8Gbps Fibre Channel. 15
