THE TOP TEN SECRETS TO AVOIDING SAN PERFORMANCE PROBLEMS

Hosted By Archie Hendryx, Senior Solutions Consultant for Virtual Instruments

It's common for Storage Administrators to be blamed from the outset when any performance problems occur. They are then forced into spending hours trying to disprove the false accusations only to be left with a mysterious 10% of the puzzle, namely the SAN fabric.

Being told that flopping HBAs, old cables, traffic congestion and zoning conflicts are problems doesn't really help when you haven't got the insight to proactively discover such issues. The need for gaining an insight into the SAN is now predominantly recognized within the industry as Fabric management tools alone fail to address the problem.

In this on-demand webinar some of the most crucial and often ignored metrics will be looked at such as Class 3 Discards, SCSI Reservation Conflicts, CRC Errors and Exchange Completion Times in order to bring to the forefront the true method of optimizing a SAN Storage environment. Make prolonged troubleshooting, slow application performance, unplanned downtime, vendor finger pointing and falsely accused storage systems a thing of the past.

The webinar will cover:

• The most common and serious SAN related problems
• The causes of these problems
• Examples of how to quickly diagnose their symptoms
• How to proactively eliminate them and the consequent benefits
