Optimize Performance Key metric is I/O per second (IOPs) Assume for sizing purposes: 5 IOPs per transaction 80-110 achievable IOPs per SAS disk 50 per achievable IOPs SATA disk # Disks required = # Transactions per sec * 5 Achievable IOPs Key metric is I/O bandwidth (MB/s) Assume for sizing purposes: 1 core requires ~ 200 MB/s to be kept busy Drives today do around 20-30 MB/s # Disks required = # Cores * 200/20 Data Warehouse OLTP

Optimize Performance Don t Forget the Rest Double disks for mirroring Add extra for back-up, test, etc. Size HBA and switches to keep throughput balanced Plan for linear performance scalability as data volumes increase Today, database performance is limited by storage
