With the addition of another SATA SSD as well as another SLC Duo to serve as the target destination, the same SQL database which now has a total of 233 GB of used space was backed up in less than … Continue reading →

Follow-up from last post on 2.0 GBPS backup throughput – was able to update the firmware painlessly for the non-functional card from a Win 7 X64 machine so that it can now be updated on the HP Server to the … Continue reading →

I managed to squeeze 2 GBps (2192.207 MBps to be exact) out on 12 cores using a HP Server DL370 with 12 x 2.66 (12 MB Cache) cores, 108GB RAM, and 7 Fusion-IO Cards backing up from a database stored … Continue reading →

Yes, I know its been a while since I have posted anything and way past due to post my update on my fusion-io card testing (I now have 6 memory devices in my R710 – 2 cards are duo). I … Continue reading →

I’ve been working on this and wanted to achieve max throughput before posting, but since I am stuck, thought I would post what I have to this point. I have 4 Fusion-IO cards including a duo in a 12 core … Continue reading →

I’m sorry it’s been so long since I’ve posted.  Been very busy with a DoD project.  I plan to add a post soon on how my SSD experience is going.  I have now accumulated 7 PCIE Fusion SSD cards (3 … Continue reading →
