Application Performance Requires Better Storage Performance

Application performance is not an academic issue. It is real and can mean the difference between a successful business and a failure.

Application performance goes beyond the fact that a system or group of systems are working in some datacenter. It includes the effectiveness of the computing resources, networking resources, storage resources and, clearly, administrative processes and procedures. Applications that don't meet performance expectations can create problems for organizations. The pain might be felt in many other areas that seem to be unrelated to the organization's information systems.
