As well as AWS Regions, we also have 21 AWS Edge Network Locations in Asia Pacific. This enables customers to serve content to their end users with low latency, giving them the best application experience. Then too, Internet service providers can shut down their services any time they feel threatened by the DDoS attacks.

My personal opinion is that I don't see a widespread need for more capacity given horizontal scaling and servers that can already exceed 1 Tbyte of DRAM; bandwidth is also helpful, but I'd be concerned about the increased latency for adding a hop to more memory. Ford, et al., “TCP

In the early days of SSRS, a requirement was to also install and configure Internet Information Services (IIS). SSRS 2008 brought that component into the reporting service module. Disk latency for ReportServer and ReportServerTempDB are very important. Reporting Services Infrastructure.

Nowadays, there are three built-in tracers that you should know about: - **ftrace**: since 2008, this serves many tracing needs, and has been enhanced recently with hist triggers for custom histograms. Here's some output from my zfsdist tool, in bcc/BPF, which measures ZFS latency as a histogram on Linux: # zfsdist. x series.
