As application loads grow and data storage needs expand, computer systems managers increasingly face performance degradation, especially when the application performance is dependent on disk drive I/O. The strategies available to the system manager are several, including hand-tuning the application or adding more expensive processing hardware. Seek Systems has offered a 4-page paper on how intelligent caching in the storage array can generate significant gains in performance without any user intervention. www.seeksystems.com/products/oracle_app_whitepaper.pdf
