The podcast covers all areas of storage performance using the article, paper, and presentation as background material.

One interesting point that Greg makes is the distinction of storage performance and IT implementation performance. Specifically, he discussing an interesting complement between the response time of an I/O request, and the time it takes for a team to identify, troubleshoot, and respond to storage performance issues. This is another way to look at the overall impact of poor storage performance.
