performance Cache amount Drive types Raid types I/Os for databases systems Minimum latency for OLTP

applications Block+file based access Uptime Cluster capable

Downsides Costly Not elastic Not easily modified Designed for single/few admins Performance isolation difficult Up front costs / inflexible lease
