Database Overview
Database Server Roles
Understand your workload
OLTP DSS (OLAP/Reporting/DW)
● Real-time, day to day transactions
● Data mining, reporting information
from OLTP
● Short transactions, more random
write activity
● Fewer, longer sequential reads.
● Quick data access by many users
● Immediate updates (IOPS)
● Responsiveness to complex queries
is key (Throughput)

Optimization Best Practices
Quick Review Scale Up! Scale Out!
IO is a common bottleneck, best measured in IOPS
o RAID 10
o SSD’s or a hybrid of SAS/SSD
o NV Write caching for best performance
o Eliminate data path throughput limitations in PCI-E, network fabric and
controller selection
Memory:
o More memory = Less I/O stress
o 64GB-72GB in optimized configurations recommended
CPU:
o Use modern cpu’s with Turbo Boost and Hyper-Threading capabilities.
o Emphasis on core count and single thread cpu core performance
