PERFORMANCE OF STORAGE CONTROLLERS FOR APPLICATIONS WITH VARYING ACCESS PATTERNS IN INFORMATION HANDLING SYSTEMS

摘要

A storage controller may receive a first data block from a first application and a second, larger data block from a second application. The storage controller may write the first data block to a first data stripe spanning a plurality of data storage resources associated with a virtual storage disk based on a size of the first data block. The storage controller may also write the second data block to a second data stripe spanning the plurality of data storage resources based on a size of the second data block. The first stripe may each include one stripe element of a first stripe element size on each of the data storage resources and the second stripe may include one stripe element of a second, larger stripe element size on each of the data storage resources.
