17 A Smarter Design Balanced performance. The components that make up the Smart Analytics System have been chosen for their performance characteristics, and balanced with the other components in the design. Stability. Components have been chosen that are successfully in use in production environments today, and have undergone rigorous lab testing Price/performance. The price to performance ratio has been considered a design principle to ensure an attractive price-to-performance characteristic of the solution. Scalability. The scalability of the Smart Analytics System solution is addressed via scale-out of the server and storage. This scalability has been made as simple as possible with a modular design Fault Tolerance. components have been chosen to provide fault tolerance, exploiting the built-in features of Power systems, network, SAN, and storage components High availability. High availability is provided at the server level through the hot-standby implementation down to the disks with a robust RAID design. Ease of installation and implementation. The Smart Analytics System design has been chosen to facilitate ease of installation, implementation, and manageability 17
