How to use flash to fulfill peak SQL DB performance demands
Collier County Runs Their School District at the Speed of Flash with Violin

With multi-tier, heterogeneous SAN environments that hold 1 or more petabytes of data, establishing sustainable storage performance under peak loads doesn’t come easy.
For one, Collier County Public Schools encountered this issue with their SAN system that included a massive Microsoft SQL Server data warehouse for storing grades and collecting test information—which an excess of 5,000 users were hitting during peak times.
View the study here for more on how replacement large capacity flash arrays successfully fulfilled Collier County’s peak database load demands and:
- Sustained their bursting capabilities
- Kept pace up with transactions during random IOPs
- Resulted in a much smaller data center footprint
- And more
