Faster SQL Server Database Access with the RamSan-210™

Overview Texas Memory Systems manufactures the RamSan-210 solid state disk. The RamSan-210 provides high bandwidth and high I/O throughput for servers and storage networks. It is one of many tools that can be used to improve Microsoft’s SQL Server performance. If your SQL Server application is being slowed down by I/O bottlenecks, the RamSan-210 can help improve your performance.
This whitepaper discusses methods for identifying I/O bottlenecks on Windows and UNIX based systems, presents the SQL Server components that are the best candidates for migration to a solid state disk, documents a method to identify the SQL Server files that are causing I/O bottlenecks, and presents ways to incorporate a RamSan-210 solid state disk into your architecture.
