IOPS Explained | Enterprise Storage Ep. 4

What is IOPS, and what do IOPS, latency, and throughput actually tell you about storage performance? Alex and Jordan break down the three numbers that define how fast storage really is — workload patterns, noisy neighbors, QoS, and how to size for performance, not just capacity. 🎙️ Infra in Minutes — enterprise infrastructure, explained in minutes.
