Прочети на българскиOne of the most expensive architectural mistakes is to expect the same storage layer to be optimal both for a live workload and for long-term backups. In theory it sounds convenient. In practice it almost always leads to a compromise in the wrong place.
We see performance storage and backup storage as different roles with different expectations. One must keep the production workload predictable. The other must serve recoverability, retention and operational peace of mind.
Why the separation is useful
- you see more clearly where the performance-critical layer is
- backup jobs do not muddy the discussion about production latency
- decisions about capacity and lifecycle are easier to make
- thinking about risk and recovery is cleaner
