Store the Data Exchange document store on a high-performance storage system, such as Network-Attached Storage (NAS), to increase the processing reliability and performance when PoweCenter processes large documents that B2B Data Exchange passes by reference. If you require higher throughput, do not use a Network File System (NFS).

Store the database repository on a high-performance file system, such as Storage Area Network (SAN), to improve the data transfer speed and reliability.

Store the B2B Data Exchange transaction log and the database repository on a high-performance hard drive, such as Solid-State Drive (SSD), to accommodate increased amounts of log entries.
