  • Summary

  • Why does your blazing-fast computer sometimes feel like it’s crawling—especially when saving files or opening apps? In this episode of TechDaily.AI, we unpack the hidden culprit: Input/Output (IO) bottlenecks.

    🎧 You’ll learn:

    • Why disk and network IO can dramatically slow down software
    • The surprising impact of milliseconds vs. nanoseconds in performance
    • Why multithreading isn’t always the answer to IO problems
    • How event-driven programming (like in Node.js) solves real-world challenges
    • What operating systems do behind the scenes to handle IO efficiently

    Plus, we spotlight StoneFly, an industry leader in high-performance storage, backup, disaster recovery, and ransomware protection. Their innovations in air-gapped storage, immutable snapshots, intelligent tiering, and centralized management are redefining how enterprises handle data at scale.

    🛠️ Whether you're a developer, sysadmin, or tech leader, this episode offers practical insights into speeding up your systems and optimizing performance.
