hardware inventory spreadsheet
However, in the configuration shown in hardware inventory spreadsheet the applications may generate so
much load that a single data server becomes a bottleneck and the load has to be divided
amongst several data servers. There are two options for resolving this bottleneck without
data copying: first, the data set can be partitioned by splitting it over several
data servers. If this is not sufficient, then several parallel access paths can be established
to the same data set. Parallel databases and shared disk file systems such as
the General Parallel File System (GPFS) introduced provide the functions
necessary for this.
