Have you tested Azure RAID with a B-ser...Hi seann,<br /><br />Have you tested Azure RAID with a B-series VM?<br /><br />The issue I discuss in my post is not about disk performance or disk throughput, it is the artificial IO throttling imposed on B-series VMs, regardless of disk type or configuration.<br /><br />If you have tested Azure RAID with a B-series VM, I would be interested in seeing your performance results comparing a single disk with a RAID array.<br /><br />SteveSteve Endowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03950475674093020502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6691994129222744759.post-24868132319314313992018-12-30T21:37:28.878-08:002018-12-30T21:37:28.878-08:00I don't see any mention of RAID in the article...I don't see any mention of RAID in the article, you should be configuring 2 or more disks in a striped RAID.<br /><br />https://dennymichael.net/2017/02/24/how-to-create-striped-disk-on-azure-aka-raid-0/seannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01704756690738303677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6691994129222744759.post-70429120384621526392018-01-11T08:33:55.999-08:002018-01-11T08:33:55.999-08:00Steve, couldn't agree with you more. Computer...Steve, couldn't agree with you more. Computers are SO CHEAP now, you don't even need to buy a "Server" per se, you could use an old quad core desktop and load it up with a bunch of ram and a couple of fast SSD drives and go to town. The main expense in having your own "Server" is the software obviously, licensing to Windows Server and all that fun stuff can really add up quickly.<br /><br />We had a customer who moved to Azure, and I had to install GP and all the stuff, and it was EXACTLY the same speeds you are showing here. They ended up having to move everything to SSD premium storage, and everything hums along quite nicely now with the SSD. They are quite happy with it, and we even recently got ODATA working which was not an easy feat. :) The bottom line for those who are moving to the cloud is make sure your storage is in the same region as your VM and make sure that you invest in as fast as you can possibly afford on the storage side or it will come back to bite you. 64 gigs of RAM is worthless if you're only pulling 20MBPS to SQL.<br /><br /><br /><br />Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15557876663751384793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6691994129222744759.post-41153282812459196112018-01-10T07:00:26.434-08:002018-01-10T07:00:26.434-08:00Agree with the issues on Transfer Speeds
