Whitepapers and Industry Views: Digging Deeper into the I/O Bottleneck

We've launched a new technical white paper called Disk Storage Shortfall which covers the technical aspects of the Server-Storage Performance Gap:

Technical White paper: Disk Storage Shortfall
Understanding the root cause of the I/O bottleneck
"While we are bound to have disk drives for a long time, current disk-based storage cannot keep up with the increasing processing capabilities of powerful servers and appetite of data-intensive applications. The existing disk storage infrastructure needs assistance, and it is time to properly apply advanced technology to solve this performance gap."

An industry piece popped up recently from Greg Schulz at The StorageIO Group

Industry View: Data Center I/O Performance Issues and Impacts
A look at I/O performance bottlenecks and their impact on time sensitive applications
"The StorageIO Group sees that, even with efforts to reduce storage capacity or improve capacity utilization with ILM enabled infrastructures, applications leveraging rich content will continue to consume more storage capacity and require additional I/O performance."
