Increasing Microsoft SQL Server Performance And Efficiency

• FAST VP and Microsoft SQL Server• Up To 40% Higher Performance • 40% Lower Cost Of Storage

• Present More Capacity In Less Time While SQL Server Applications Remain Online

• Less Tuning And Management Required By SQL Server DBAs


SQL Server 2012 Performance with VMAXe FASTVP and AlwaysOn Availability Groups (Local)

Objective: Characterize performance & functionality of virtualized SQL Server 2012 using AlwaysOn replication

– Run production TPC-E workload (baseline) with FASTVP enabled for Production only (no replica)

– Create and enable availability group (Read-only secondary database replicas on FASTVP enabled storage).

– Re-run same production TPC-E workload. Characterize the performance of both source & secondary replicas.

– Execute read-only workloads (Analytics/OLAP) on the secondary replica

– Achieve 30,000 IOPS


EMC VFCache Improves Server Performance• Server Flash caching solution that uses

intelligent caching software and hardware technology to reduce latency and increase throughput

• “Hottest” data accessed through VFCache in the server providing increased performance

• VFCache benefits SQL Server 2012:• Lower database I/O latency by 60%• 50% more I/O serviced within 1 ms• 4X more transactions per SQL Server

database• Perfect fit for OLTP workloads

Best Practices: First and foremost

1. Don’t over complicate things2. Plan for performance not capacity3. Plan for recovery and not backup4. Maximize the technology you own5. Understand the applications using SQL

Server• SQL Server is just the database!


Best Practices• It might not be about performance• But when it is isolate…

• Database Files RAID 5• Log Files RAID 1/0• Data Warehouse RAID 5 or 6

• Group workloads of similar I/O together


Key Perfmon CountersPerfmon Counter Description

Disk Reads/sec Disk Writes/sec Disk Transfers/sec

Measures: Number of IOPs - Read, Write, Total

Average Disk Bytes/Read Average Disk Bytes/Write

Measures: Size of I/OsLarger I/Os tend to have higher latency (for example, BACKUP/RESTORE operations issue 1 MB transfers by default).

Average Disk sec/Read Average Disk sec/Write

Measures: Disk latency 1 - 5 milliseconds (ms) for Log (ideally 1 ms or less on average) 5 - 20 ms for Database Files (OLTP) (Ideally 10 ms or less on average) Data Warehousing / DSS – does not apply!

Current Disk Queue Length

Measures: # of outstanding I/Os waiting to be read or written from the storage. High queue depths + high latencies = performance problem! High queue depth + low latencies = active and efficient system.

Disk Read Bytes/sec Disk Write Bytes/sec Measures storage: bandwidth


A Day in the life of SQL Server…SQL Server Storage I/O

Plan for user load peaks, not systematic peaks…
