FLASH STORAGE ENGINEERING SERVICES

CEVOs HELPS organizations:

1. Analyze storage disks for standard workload profiles by measuring I/O performance
2. Determine IOPS that can be attained from SSD (SATA, SAS and or NVMe) and configurations for each workload
3. Identify performance limits under a variety of workload scenarios

What we do?

1. Benchmark SATA, SAS and NVMe drives for
   • Throughput (IOPS or MB/sec)
   • Latency
   • CPU utilization

CEVOs testing Overview

Develop a workload model that allows you to accurately simulate how well the target storage systems under consideration will perform based on a variety of real-world testing scenarios. This will help you substantiate your claims with the performance numbers from our test results and also we will help you uncover any limitations that may arise from the testing. The CEVOS testing includes:

• Analyze/Characterize Workloads
• Model Workloads
• Emulate Workloads At Scale

CEVOs tests and validates flash with deduplication and compression with high accuracy, tremendous load and extremely realistic workload patterns. We use industry standard methods for generating and verifying streams that represent repeatable random and repeatable contents.

What challenges we address?

IOmeter or FIO can give you data on what you can expect from SSD but not from application perspective. But we at CEVOs can uncover those number from application perspective whether it is OLTP or DSS workloads. We will help you uncover the strengths and weakness of the drives under test. These tests are near applications type of workloads representing real world environments such Oracle, SQL Server, MongoDB, Cassandra DB, SCYLLA DB.

Other challenges include:

• Difficulty in identifying dozens of potential bottlenecks which can make the use of solid state a waste of effort
• Not enough people, time, and resources to adequately perform accurate testing and evaluation of flash storage
• Substantiate the Vendors claims with numbers that to your specific application workloads
• Eliminating expensive licenses to gain insights on the drives using opensource tools
