You random reads are in the 50'000 range and writes almost 20'000, so I still think you have a good SAN If that's enough for that many clients, hmm, that's beyond me... You might want to reach out to Brian Mason (he is on this list), he is one of the few I know with really large sites. They are

That is actually a surprise. It isn't a really good SAN, it's never over 50'000/20'000? Dividing the database data then? Oh, before I forget: This would be for two primaries, each managing up-to 100'000 clients. Remote SQL (due MS support) For a CAS with 200'000 clients? Shouldn't that m

Actually no, the small ones (read 8 kb) yes, are a bit slow... But the other block sizes 64 kb and 512 kb are good. And your write operations are very good. SQL uses a lot of 64 kb blocks in its read/write operations. I guess I need to add a few notes in the post on how to interpret the data
