Best Practices for Optimizing Enterprise Storage Performance in High-Traffic Applications

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for insights on optimizing enterprise storage performance for high-traffic applications. As data loads increase, enterprise storage systems often become bottlenecks, impacting response times and overall system efficiency.

What are some best practices you follow to ensure smooth performance under heavy workloads? A few areas I’m particularly interested in:

• Storage Tiering – How do you decide which data stays on SSDs vs. HDDs?
• Caching Strategies – What are the most effective caching techniques for reducing latency?
• Load Balancing – Any recommendations on distributing storage workloads efficiently?
• File System Optimization – Which file systems perform best under heavy loads?
• Monitoring & Scaling – Tools or methods you use to track and scale storage performance?

I would love to hear from those who have tackled similar challenges! Any tips, tools, or case studies would be much appreciated.

Looking forward to your insights!
