Hardware Optimizers” want to get the maximum utilization out of hardware. These systems were designed to have a lifetime of half a decade or more, and rapidly changing hardware meant that the initial deployment had to be sized for 5-7 years out. Latency Optimizers” – need support for very large federated deployments.

Now welcome to the hardware jungle. One of the slides I omitted to shorten this version of the talk highlighted that there are actually two issues when you go from “Disjoint (tightly coupled)” to “Disjoint (loosely coupled)”: reliability and latency , and both are important.

There may be multiple people in the room during a video call, not just the person you are calling.

This is why people have made a business out of setting up home stereo and video systems. People can walk in and out.

Software services still require physical devices and hardware for them to function. An organization’s response to an incident, whether we are talking about downtime, security breaches or cyber-attacks, or even prolonged latency and repeated errors, is critical to the continued success of the business and trust from the customer or end user.

When we released Always On Availability Groups in SQL Server 2012 as a new and powerful way to achieve high availability, hardware environments included NUMA machines with low-end multi-core processors and SATA and SAN drives for storage (some SSDs). As we moved towards SQL Server 2014, the pace of hardware accelerated.

While Wi-Fi theoretically can achieve 5G-like speeds, it falls short in providing the consistent performance and reliability that 5G offers, including low latency, higher speeds, and increased bandwidth. Additionally, frequent handoffs between access points can lead to delays and connection drops.

The CFQ works well for many general use cases but lacks latency guarantees. The deadline excels at latency-sensitive use cases ( like databases ), and noop is closer to no schedule at all. By default, most Linux installs use the CFQ ( Completely-Fair Queue ) scheduler. Two other schedulers are deadline and noop.

Because we are dealing with network protocols here, we will mainly look at network aspects, of which two are most important: latency and bandwidth. Latency can be roughly defined as the time it takes to send a packet from point A (say, the client) to point B (the server). Two-way latency is often called round-trip time (RTT).
