STAND UP DATA LLC
PONTE VEDRA, FLORIDA

Thank you for visiting my blog. My name is Alexey Bogomolov and my passion is to map business problems to technology solutions, particularly in the data realm. With over a decade of IT experience in consulting, DBA, BI development and architecture, I’m Director of Data and Analytics at a market research and web analytics company, Here is an update on performance of our all flash array, since we’ve had it running for a few months in our production environment. Since our systems are heavy reads, the obvious benefits can be seen from the graphs below where there is a clear reduction in wait time since our upgrade in August. The graphs illustrate total wait time by individual SQL Server data file. The scale is in days of wait on Y axis and time in weeks on X axis. This data is taken from two different servers running on Pure Storage. On a separate note, I want to mention that availability of snapshots has been a great bonus for us. Now we can restore a copy of production data for free on the device due to this feature. Our total data reduction ration is 3.2 to 1.
