Fragmentation in Large Object Repositories
Summary: Empirical study of fragmentation in scalable object repositories comparing SQL Server and NTFS, showing fragmentation dominates performance for objects >256KB–1MB and NTFS degrades less. Finds free-space-to-object-size ratio and write-request size (even mono-sized workloads) drive fragmentation, suggesting simple filesystem/DB interface changes to mitigate.
