Then in 2008, Google issued a code yellow for application speed, and I was the code yellow lead for Google Docs. A critical part of the code yellow was ensuring Google's sites would be fast for users across the globe, even if they had slow networks and low end devices. How do we slice and dice them to find problem areas?

As well as AWS Regions, we also have 21 AWS Edge Network Locations in Asia Pacific. This enables customers to serve content to their end users with low latency, giving them the best application experience. AWS Partner Network (APN) Consulting Partners in Hong Kong help customers migrate to the cloud.

March 26, 2008 doesn't have any delicious desserts associated with it, but that's the day when we launched Availability Zones for Amazon EC2. Even though the network design for each data center is massively redundant, interruptions can still occur. One is that the latency within a zone is incredibly fast.

My personal opinion is that I don't see a widespread need for more capacity given horizontal scaling and servers that can already exceed 1 Tbyte of DRAM; bandwidth is also helpful, but I'd be concerned about the increased latency for adding a hop to more memory. Ford, et al., “TCP

SSRS 2008 brought that component into the reporting service module. Disk latency for ReportServer and ReportServerTempDB are very important. You need to be monitoring memory/disk/CPU utilization, network I/O, tempdb usage, waits, and other counters to know what is normal for the overall workload of those systems.
