Optimizing Complex Memory and Storage Systems Using Simulations - A Modular Approach

Explore a 14-minute conference talk from the SNIA Compute+Memory+Storage Summit that demonstrates how to optimize complex storage and content delivery systems through modular simulations. Learn how to break down system components into building blocks, enabling rapid testing of multiple variable configurations and the integration of proprietary components. Discover how these simulation methods can reduce development time from months or years to mere weeks. Follow along with a practical demonstration of storage system simulation using sample datasets, and examine a real-world success story that highlights the effectiveness of this approach. Presented by Andy Banta from Magnition, gain insights into cache components, fundamental algorithm choices, media components, wire components, and the Magnition modeling approach through this comprehensive exploration of simulation-based optimization techniques.
