Storage Layout and I/O Performance Tuning for IBM Red Brick Data Warehouse

Overview Although Red Brick performance depends primarily on the logical database design, the placement and allocation of data files in the disk subsystem is another significant performance factor. There are many choices in the configuration and design of the physical database layout. This paper reviews best practices propagated by storage and database vendors and presents measurements that compare storage layout alternatives for Red Brick. This leads to specific I/O configuration and tuning guidelines for IBM Red Brick Data Warehouse.
