Chapter 2. Architecture and technical
overview
This chapter discusses the overall system architecture represented by Figure 2-1, with its
major components described in the following sections. The bandwidths that are provided
throughout the section are theoretical maximums used for reference. You should always
obtain real-world performance measurements using production workloads.
