Hyperdisk Storage Pools dynamically allocate as programs read and write data, simplifying performance planning and administration and increasing resource consumption
Clients have struggled to reconcile block storage performance resources with workload resources
Customers will configure block storage at the highest performance they have seen to ensure their workloads are never performance-starved
Since these workloads' steady-state performance is half their allotted performance, they operate at 40–45% performance utilization outside of a pool
Infrastructure managers have historically had to decide between risking application failure by optimizing operational efficiency or accepting poor utilization
An Advanced Performance Storage Pool’s disk IOPS and throughput are thin-provisioned
Early adopters of Advanced Performance Storage Pools, like REWE, have recognized the benefits of the product
