Tiering Curve: Tiering Curve Interpetation:
System Performance vs % of IOps Directed to SSD Tier "HOT" Data = Frequently accessed data
168000 "COLD" Data = Rarely accessed data
160850 The goal is to have as ALL of the "HOT" Data on SSD Tier
153700 As "HOT" & "COLD" change, Tiering promotes/demotes data
146550 Here, for Max IOps, "HOT" data is < 0.00% of Total Capacity
139400 and 100% of IOps for "HOT" & 0% of IOps for "COLD"
132250
125100 Tiering Curve Interpolator: Enter Value 79 %
System IOps @ 70 / 30

117950 For 79% on SSD Tier / 21% on HDD Tiers

110800 (Either "HOT" > SSD Tier or APP uses a lot of "COLD" data)
103650 79% of system IOps on SSD Tier = ~ 165465 IOps
100% on SSDs 100% on HDDs
96500
(if present) (if present)
21% of system IOps, on HDD Tiers = ~ 27151 IOps
89350 However, since disks are so slow and IOps are intermixed
82200 then 100% of system IOps across all Tiers = ~ 42040 IOps
75050
67900 Recommendations:
60750 1: Perform data analysis of the application to determine
53600 size of the "HOT" data the application uses
46450 39065 2: For Max Performance, SSD Tier has sufficient space
39300
32150 Rules of Thumb:
25000 For Enterprise applications (DB, VMs, etc)
120.0% 100.0% 80.0% 60.0% 40.0% 20.0% 0.0% -20.0% 1% < "HOT" data (SSD Tier) < 20% of total capacity
% of IOps Directed to SSD Tier For Archiving applications (backup, record retention, etc)
Dual Controller Interpolation "HOT" data (SSD Tier) is typically 0% of total capacity

Tiering Implications:
Spatial Locality: Variable Host Vol Size vs Uniform Access Pattern Across Full Vol Temporal Locality: Constant Host Vol Size vs Variable % of Accesses to "Hot" (SSD)
