Benchmarking Hardware Storage Virtualization 
SQL Performance
DECEMBER 17, 2019
This removes the burden of purchasing and maintaining your hardware, storage and networking infrastructure, while still giving you a very familiar experience with Windows and SQL Server itself. Microsoft currently has eight main types of virtual machines designed for different types of workloads. Azure VM Types and Series.

Regardless of whether the computing platform to be evaluated is on-prem, containerized, virtualized, or in the cloud, it is crucial to consider several essential factors. As database performance is heavily influenced by the performance of storage, network, memory, and processors, we must understand the upper limit of these key components.

HammerDB is a software application for database benchmarking. It enables the user to measure database performance and make comparative judgements about database hardware and software. Databases are highly sophisticated software, and to design and run a fair benchmark workload is a complex undertaking. Derived Workloads.

Some opinions claim that “Benchmarks are meaningless”, “benchmarks are irrelevant” or “benchmarks are nothing like your real applications” However for others “Benchmarks matter,” as they “account for the processing architecture and speed, memory, storage subsystems and the database engine.”

Some of the most important elements include: No single point of failure (SPOF): You must eliminate any SPOF in the database environment, including any potential for an SPOF in physical or virtual hardware. Without enough infrastructure (physical or virtualized servers, networking, etc.), there cannot be high availability.

Defining high availability In general terms, high availability refers to the continuous operation of a system with little to no interruption to end users in the event of hardware or software failures, power outages, or other disruptions. If a primary server fails, a backup server can take over and continue to serve requests.

Last week we saw the benefits of rethinking memory and pointer models at the hardware level when it came to object storage and compression ( Zippads ). The protections are hardware implemented and cannot be forged in software. At hardware reset the boot code is granted maximally permissive architectural capabilities.
