I'm glad it was helpful! I could have gone on for two or three hours on the topic.

I really can't emphasize enough how often we see situations devolve into solving nonexistent problems. I think it's mostly because all-flash changed things so much. Back in the days of spinning drives, storage performance was almost always a problem, and there were almost always real benefits from trying to tune things a little better.

That's occasionally true for all-flash, but on the whole the problem shifted from "how can I make storage go faster?" to "what exactly do I need in the first place?"

Wow, I just watched Jeffrey Steiner's presentation "BRK-1151-2 Data
Performance: What do you really need?"  While attending the Virtual Insight conference.  What an amazingly useful talk, I wish it *was* a two hour course, I'd take it again in a hearbeat.

My Netapp setup isn't nearly as upto date as I'd like, and my Oracle DBA does a pretty good job of keeping things humming, but this talk was just really excellent.

If you have a chance, go attend this conference and watch this presentation.

John
