Benefit


Transaction Workloads (OLTP) on SQL Server §  Transaction rates are accelerated

with SSDs supporting SQL Server

§  Business Benefit: ‒  Faster performance for normal

(optimal) database operations ‒  Minimal change in performance,

even in event of failure ‒  Recover to optimal (RTO) in 1/8th

SQL Server with SanDisk SSDs vs. 15k HDDs: Up to 7x higher performance, 10x better price/perf,ormance - 8x faster RTO


SQL Server 2014 In-Memory OLTP: Flash Benefits

§  Larger log records, up to 24KB = fewer writes, larger I/Os §  10-30x more transactions still generate a lot of writes to transaction log §  ioMemory: 4x faster TLOG writes, 91% lower latency
