Data Warehouse Customer Challenge• Server/Storage design balance can be complex for
customers to design … and get right!– Server can consume 12 GB/sec of IO, but the SAN can
only deliver 2 GB/sec• Even when the SAN is dedicated to the SQL Data
Warehouse, which it often isn’t– SAN can deliver 16 GB/sec, but the sever can only process
2 Gb/sec
• Queries are slow– Despite significant investment in both Server and Storage
Result: significant investment, not delivering performance

Fast Track Solution: Balanced System Design
• Design a server + storage configuration that optimize storage I/O capability with SQL Server data processing capacity
• Avoid the performance challenge of shared storage
• Avoid over-investment in disk drives by optimizing storage for workload attributes and server I/O consumption capability
• Allow customer personnel to focus on primary role– Not designing a server/storage configuration
