Before making any application optimizations, the specific requirements for operating environments should be addressed. For example:
Adobe Premiere Pro and PowerScale can support high-throughput workflows - including multiple uncompressed image sequences. When designing and configuring a system to work with high throughput, pay close attention to the solution as a whole.
The overhead of supporting any remote storage is different to the overhead of supporting local or direct-attached storage. When iterating through optimizations, there is only minimal value in comparing the performance of any application as it interacts with different types of storage. Instead, there is more value in measuring improvements.
Similarly, while speed-test utilities may help with initial “ball park” optimizations, care should be taken to optimize with the target application. Not all applications and test utilities access the storage in the same way – and may (for example) use a different number of concurrent threads, or different protocol calls. Instead, there is more value in measuring improvements when using the target application.
