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.

Join us on February 7, 2024, for “Everything You Wanted to Know About Throughput, IOPS, and Latency, But Were Too Proud to Ask.” In this webinar, we’ll cover:

  • What storage performance metrics mean – understanding key terminology nuances
  • Why users/storage administrators should care about them
  • How these metrics impact application performance
  • Real-world use cases

It’s a live event and our experts will be available to answer any questions you may have. I hope you’ll register today.

If you are not familiar with our “Too Proud to Ask” series, I encourage you to check out these 11 great on-demand webinars that provide 101 lessons on a wide range of storage terminology.
