New Whitepaper: Performance Evaluation of Hosting TempDB on FusionIO
A colleague I work with on the PQO* Operations SQL V-Team, Jonathan Foster, has authored and published a whitepaper on using FusionIO SSD drives for tempDB performance in SQL Server. I served as technical reviewer and Jimmy May (blog|@aspiringgeek) from Microsoft's SQL Cat Team (blog|@SQLCat) and Ken Hughes from FusionIO provided highly beneficial technical advice. Andre Ciabattari and John Yi from the PQO Operations Infrastructure/Lab team provided technical excellence with installing and configuring the FusionIO drives in the test server.
