[Astlinux-users] Storage performance

[Michael K. <mic...@ip...>]

Hi Group

I am virtualising most Astlinux installs and now moving to Virtual DC’s where I have more control of the type of resources I allocate. One of these is the type of storage and usually in the form of IOP’s.
For example I can purchase storage ranging from 100 IOP’s to 25,000 IOP’s. Now although the difference in price is not huge, it does add up and I want to try to minimise costs where possible.
I have been using 250 IOP’s and I have not seen any problems but just wondering if this is too low? Even though am writing logs to KD, I assumed that the Astlinux architecture was still pretty light on in regards to disk writes.

Thanks
Mike
