HDD devices are slower, but they have a large storage capacity. Even with the higher speed capacity, an SSD has its disadvantages over an HDD, depending on your application. To determine the actual difference in speed, you’ll need to download benchmarking tools. How to Benchmark SSD vs. HDD. Does SSD Read Faster than HDD?

Hadoop) means that growing capacity requires higher node counts and therefore growing complexity. What we really want is a way to grow capacity 10x without also adding 10x operational overhead. The results presented here show queries against the frozen tier to be 3x faster than standard capacity-oriented object stores like AWS.

To benchmark the performance of FlashArray, we compared it against AWS EBS. . In this blog post, we’ll dive into the benefits for databases (we used MySQL in our test) when using AWS Outposts with FlashArray. The post Improve Open Source Database Operations with AWS Outposts by 4x appeared first on Pure Storage Blog.

We’ve benchmarked Kafka write speeds at 5 million messages/sec on Flasharray. Be sure to carefully consider how to ensure persistence, data protection, security, data mobility, and capacity management for Kafka. Portworx Autopilot offers Kubernetes-aware data management and capacity automation. Kafka is extremely fast.

With two DirectFlash expansion shelves, they scale to maximum effective capacities of 3.53PB and 5.5PB in a dense 11U of rack space. In such situations, the IO requirements of the database can exceed the capacity provided by a single FlashArray//X90. . Figure 1: . There are some downsides to this approach, though.
