The Cost of Compromise: 11 Things You Do To Make Storage Run Faster

1. Over-provisioning (more is not necessarily better)
2. Short-stroking (try and keep a straight face)
3. IO Scheduling (there is no app for this)
4. Caching (what’s the penalty for a “cache miss”?)
5. Automatic Tiering (who gets to decide?)
6. Manually Distributing IO (the only manual thing we like is on a Ferrari)
7. Over-Indexing (there is such a thing as “index trickery”)
8. Summary Tables (who needs summary tables in a world of real-time analysis?)
9. Foregoing Real-time Data (See #8)
10. RAID (how many different combinations are there?)
11. Coping (ice cream always helps)
