Accurate sizing for PowerStore solutions requires specific workload parameters to ensure that the storage system meets performance and capacity requirements.
Required Parameters:
IOPS (Input/Output Operations Per Second): A key performance metric indicating the number of read/write operations the system must handle.Essential for determining the required performance capability.
Effective Capacity: The usable storage capacity after considering data reduction technologies like compression and deduplication. Critical for ensuring the system can accommodate the data volume.
Other Parameters:
Response Time: While important for performance, it is not typically required to proceed with sizing.
Data Reduction Ratio: Influences effective capacity but is not a direct input for initial sizing.
