Bad I/O harms shared storage and limits performance significantly, problems that no amount of extra hardware or cloud spend can fix.
In this 30-minute live webinar, Rosemary Francis, Founder and CEO of Ellexus, will explain common I/O problems and best practices to implement easy performance wins. She will outline I/O profiling for improving application performance as well as I/O monitoring for improving HPC system performance through good application deployment. Understanding I/O patterns can give easy wins as often a simple fix can make the biggest difference, but knowing where to look is crucial. Rosemary will demo I/O profiling tools from Ellexus that provide system telemetry and application performance metrics.
