Throughput, IOPs, and Latency Q&A

Throughput, IOPs, and latency are three terms often referred to as storage performance metrics. But the exact definitions of these terms and how they differ can be confusing. That’s why the SNIA Networking Storage Forum (NSF) brought back our popular webinar series, “Everything You Wanted to Know About Storage, But Were Too Proud to Ask,” with a live webinar, “Everything You Wanted to Know about Throughput, IOPs, and Latency But Were Too Proud to Ask.”

The live session was a hit with over 850 views in the first 48 hours. If you missed the live event, you can watch it on-demand. Our audience asked several interesting questions, here are our answer to them.

Here’s Everything You Wanted to Know About Throughput, IOPs, and Latency

Any discussion about storage systems is incomplete without the mention of Throughput, IOPs, and Latency. But what exactly do these terms mean, and why are they important? To answer these questions, the SNIA Networking Storage Forum (NSF) is bringing back our popular webinar series, “Everything You Wanted to Know About Storage, But Were Too Proud to Ask.”

Collectively, these three terms are often referred to as storage performance metrics. Performance can be defined as the effectiveness of a storage system to address I/O needs of an application or workload. Different application workloads have different I/O patterns, and with that arises different bottlenecks, so there is no “one-size fits all” in storage systems. These storage performance metrics help with storage solution design and selection based on application/workload demands.
