Estimate required storage IOPS for different application tiers. OLTP databases: 5–50 IOPS/user; web servers: 0.1–1 IOPS/RPS; email: 0.5–2 IOPS/mailbox; VDI: 15–20 IOPS/desktop.
Enter the values for the scenario you are assessing. Estimate required storage IOPS for different application tiers. OLTP databases: 5–50 IOPS/user; web servers: 0.1–1 IOPS/RPS; email: 0.5–2 IOPS/mailbox; VDI: 15–20 IOPS/desktop. Use the iops by app tier result to inform your calculation.
