Poor FC performance in comparing with competitor

[SeanLeyne]

...But, one of the competitor http://www.avroraid.com/en/technology/testing-results claim that they have got about 917 MB/sec at the weaker (cheaper) server configuration....

I just re-reviewed the performance number from the site and I can't find any matching details for the config which provided the 917MB/s numbers.

In general, I have to say that unless you run the performance test yourself using a single set of hardware, trying to compare your results with theirs is not advisable. There are all sorts of reasons why the numbers could be different.

I would contact them and see if you can get a trial/eval version so you can run the tests yourself.

Of course I understand, that competitors always try to persuade, that their decision is much better. :-) And of course I understand, that features of AVRORAID is poor, than Open-E. But I would like to know what's wrong with Open-E performances. Is it normal or not. Probably something wrong with hardware tuning or something else. Unfortunately, I couldn't find some good test results of Open-E. And unfortunately, it's rather hard to make head-to-head comparision, since AVRORAID support only ATTO target FC controller, but I have only QLogic. Probably someone knows where to get Open-E performances test results?

Try to use the full build of DSSv6 ( not the LITE, as you have a storage size more than 2TB ).
Also update your RAID Controller Firmware to the latest build (check your controller website for that).
