Case Study: University of Illinois Enhances Database Performance with Windows Server 2016
Background: The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, renowned for its research and teaching, manages extensive IT infrastructure to support various applications, including critical Microsoft SQL Server and Oracle databases. Despite utilizing high-performance all-flash storage arrays, the university observed performance degradation as database sizes and user demands increased.
Challenges: • Performance bottlenecks in MS-SQL and Oracle applications on Windows servers. • Increased latency and reduced throughput affecting user experience. • Need to enhance application performance without significant hardware investments.
Solution: To address these challenges, the university implemented Condusiv’s DymaxIO I/O transformation software on their Windows Server 2016 environment. This solution focuses on optimizing I/O operations to improve overall system performance.
Results: • Improved Application Performance: Achieved a 50% or greater improvement in application performance without additional hardware investments. • Enhanced Efficiency: By optimizing I/O operations, the university increased the efficiency of their infrastructure, leading to better utilization of existing resources. • Reduced Latency: Significant reduction in latency and improved throughput, resulting in a better user experience for applications running on Windows Server 2016.
This case study illustrates how the University of Illinois leveraged Windows Server 2016 in conjunction with performance optimization tools to enhance the efficiency and performance of their critical database applications.
