WORKLOAD OPTIMIZATION
Why is Workload Optimization Important?
Workload optimization, in its most elegant form, is delivering more performance with less. Really Less.
Workload Optimization is not a topic on the top of every CIO’s “to do” list. However if one considers the top 2 priorities identified on Gartner’s 2016 survey of CIO initiatives, you will find BI/Analytics in the #1 spot and Infrastructure and DataCenter in the #2 spot. Workload Optimization can be a key enabler for delivering on both objectives with improved SLAs and lower costs.

ACTUAL EXAMPLE OF WORKLOAD OPTIMIZATION
FIGURE 1
HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE?
Consider the dramatic cycle time improvements illustrated below:
Applications & Workloads
Virtualized Workloads
Services, Solutions & Efficiencies
- Workload Assessment
- Migration support to VMWare VSAN Hyperconverged appliance
- Validation
- Efficiencies
- Leverages existing VMWare tools
- Evolve without Risk
- Multi-vendor solutions
- Server side storage economics
Performance and Operational Benefits
- Dramatic performance gains
- Up to 15x hybrid VSAN performance
- Up to 40x IOPs vs Hybrid VSAN
- As low as 1/40th latency of legacy SAN storage
- Lower CapEx through Scale out deployment
- Reduction of OpEx via rapid deployment of new capacity
- One tool – One team
Cloud Native Workloads
- Workload Assessment
- Memory and Storage assessment & Consultation
- Solution Testing & Optimization
- Migration to NVDIMM “persistent memory”
- Efficiencies
- Maximize ROI for OLTP, Analytic and BI Performance targets
- Preservation of supply chain partners
- Reduction in HW & Software Costs
- Fewer cores = lower license costs
- 18-35x improvement in OLTP processing
- Up to 100x application performance increase above and beyond server side SSD
Summary of Genesis Services and Support for Workload Optimization
- Assess current infrastructure and challenges
- Consult on specific Workload performance goals for databases such as Cassandra, Mongo DB etc
- Provide Direct Recommendations
- Develop DRAM, cache and capacity SSD and NVDIMM configuration for optimal performance of your workload
- Coordination with current Server vendor to create a “workload optimized” SKU
- Provide VSAN solution options which provide compelling economic value vs competing solutions
