Dell PowerEdge 1900 5130 (4CPU)
2GB RAM 667MHZ
LSI Logic 7202 Fiber 2GB/s
AppleXRAID Raid5 with 6 drives and one hot spare ( connected to 1 fiber channel 2GB/s)
BroadCom PCI-X 64 bit 5703
Cisco 3750 Switch
Client :
HP Proliant DL380 G4 3.8GHz Xeon ( 4CPU)
2GB RAM
Windows 2003 Server
Built-In Broadcom
The Apple XRaid directly connected to this DL380 via fiber 2GB/s was able to reach 103.5MB/s burst rate and 85MB/s sustained. With Open-E over only one link gigabit the burst rate was 89.5MB/s and 70MB/s sustained , this was bench with HDTach , the real world file copy is little less but same as directly connected fiber XRaid
2097MB file write = 35 secs = 60MB/s ( real file copy )
2097MB file read = same = same
The thing that I miss in Open-E is server clustering , the power I need to reach good performance is simply to much . Open-E could you tell me how much MB/s your Intel SSR212 can push with his 2 Built-In Gigabit Interface over ISCSI ? . I know that this machine's are certified so I'm sure that you have some benchmark of it
