has been designed out due to poor performance Cassandra Space Amp requires 2-3x more storage than user data for compaction phase “For optimal performance in terms of the storage layer, use disks backed by RAID-10. RAID-5 and RAID-6 do not typically provide sufficient performance to support a MongoDB deployment.” RAID Check if RAID is used. Don’t use RAID-5, RAID-6, or their variants, such as RAID- 50/RAID-60, which has worse performance characteristics. Compaction strategy SizeTieredCompactionStra tegy(STCS) Minimum requirements Sum of all the SSTables compacting must be smaller than the remaining disk space. Note: Worse case: 50% of free disk space. This scenario can occur in a manual compaction where all SSTables are merged into one giant SSTable. https://docs.datastax.com/en/oss-planning/doc/planning/ossCapacityPlanning.html

turn ‘dumb’ flash storage into ‘smart’ flash storage. According to our benchmarks, the Pliops Storage Processor is unique in that it is able to increase performance, improve compression and reduce write amplification.” David Dixon VP, Data Center NAND Division Peter Zaitsev CEO Rob Davis VP of Storage Technology “We agree with the Pliops vision that data intensive applications will be critical to tomorrow’s innovations, so it’s imperative to architect the computing world for what’s coming. The partnership with Pliops is a key part of our strategy to continue to lead the way through the AI revolution. Pliops gives customers and important tool they can use to accelerate, and cost reduce SSD based applications” “With it’s XDP product, Pliops is leading the revolution in a way data is processed and stored in the datacenter. Inspur Systems is partnering with Pliops in delivering robust, performance-optimized, solutions. From Cloud Services Providers to marquee enterprise customers, together with Pliops we deliver an optimized stack to address data acceleration, while also dramatically enhancing media reliability and endurance as we witness a tidal shift towards QLC NAND-based storage” Dolly Wu VP of Cloud “Simply put, Pliops XDP unleashes the full potential of our QLC 3D NAND SSDs. This opens the door for all use case, delivering performance and endurance greater than what can be achieved using more expensive alternatives such as TLC SSDs. By extending the value of QLC for all existing applications and multiplying reliability, performance, capacity and efficiency, Pliops XDP enables more scaling for SSD investments” 37
to Pliops’ technology, we are able to realize higher performance from our investments and support more concurrent users. Using Pliops Storage Processor provides a superior architecture, with high performance and space savings all with drive failure protection. This is the best product for server-side flash that I have seen in 10 years.” Pliops XDP will enable us to extend the storage capacity used by Redis, our in-memory data service. This means our engineers can analyze months of data instead of days, improving their insights on product development and validation. Anshuman Singh Director of SW Development 38
