How will I know if the client is using an SSD storage device? Is there a way to configure NCentral to scan what kind of storage they are using?.
This is the fourth post of my series on hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) architectural design and decision-making. For my money, the differences between these diverse systems is a function of the storage involved in the design. On the compute side, these environments use x86 and a hypervisor to create a cluster of hosts…
Support for SolidFire Storage Arrays, both regular MIBs and SolarWinds Storage Manager!!!

It was a fairly sizable order because we are buying a lot of servers at the moment. HP inform me that there is a shortage of HP branded SSD drives and we have to…
Recently, a customer who’s already got a vSAN implementation in place, but only for testing purposes, asked me about the potential hazards regarding virtualizing some of their databases onto vSAN. To be fair, the initial conversation began with simply using VMware as a basis for some of their mission critical databases.…
It’s been 35 years since the very first solid-state drive (SSD) was launched. This went by the name “solid-state disk”. These were called “solid-state” because they contained no moving parts and only had memory chips. This storage medium was not magnetic or optical, but they were solid state semiconductors such as…
From what I hear, automatic tiering is the direction a lot of people are going/have gone. I recently applied the hotfix and got the "storage tiers" page working and populated. However, the information is just a duplicate of what you have setup in the array. (# of disks, # of luns per tier) and not something I would ever…
Has anyone tried putting the database on SSD? Any thoughts to share?
