Solid State Drives: Changing the Way DBAs Do Business

Solid state drives are fairly new to the Enterprise storage arena.  So new in fact, that most DBAs are yet to think about what the implications are of deploying a DB2 for z/OS system on SSD.  Since the notions of seek time, rotational delay, data proximity, do not apply what are the things that can change when using this technology?  After this presentation, you should understand:

•The performance profiles of Solid State Drives
•How SSD can change the frequency of REORGs
•Other benefits of not running reorgs
•The effects of using (or not using) freespace with SSD
•What does clustering really mean when using SSD
