Solid State Disk Solutions - Identifying Hot Files

Software is available to tell you what data needs to go on a solid state disk.  The task of determining which files need the performance boost of Solid State Disk (SSD) has traditionally been the responsibility of the System or Database Administrator (DBA).  In order to make this task more accurate and much easier for the administrator we have partnered with hyperI/O LLC to provide this functionality utilizing their file I/O tracking software "hIOmon."  The software monitors file system access and keeps track of file usage statistics, enabling a clear and simple method to locate files which need the high performance of our RamSan.  This can be used initially to determine the size of SSD needed and then on a continuing basis to determine if new files become active enough for SSD.  This provides a great way to monitor file system performance and to utilize solid state technology to the fullest extent.
