Managing Flash Accel caching systems : Managing cache metrics

Managing cache metrics
Flash Accel offers a rich set of cache metrics that you can use to determine how much server-side caching is increasing the performance of your storage system. You may find the graph of historical performance especially helpful.
Wait until the cache is populated with data from typical application read and write activity, or fully warmed, before you begin tracking performance statistics. The amount of time until full cache warming varies depending on the working set size of the application data and the I/O access rate.
The table below shows the reported metrics. As a rule, the hit rate should increase, and the insertion rate should decrease, until the cache is fully warmed. Both should then level off to a steady state. If the hit rate drops significantly, or if the insertion rate increases significantly, there may be an issue that needs to be addressed.
