I have been looking through the forums and google’in performance information on Open-e iSCSI and DDS. All I can find is reports of people getting between 30-100MBps of throughput.
Is there any point in even considering a 10gb setup, I would be happy to throw equipment at it, but I would be looking at getting 300-500MBps throughput or i would be quite disappointed. Is this a reasonable possibility or is Open-e really just a 1gb solution? Or would I be better using direct attached storage?
For instance I was thinking along the lines of using :
1x Quad core 2.3ghz, 4-8gb ram, 16* 147gb 15k SAS drives on HP HW Raid cards, with 1x10gb and 2x 1gb nic’s
I would also be interested to see if a 1x duel core 3ghz would be better?
I would link to see some end user performance stats if anyone is willing to share?
And is anyone actually using this with XEN?
I sure hope someone will say yes to all my questions
Not yet, ive try'd using open-e on a old HP DL580G2 with 4x18gb u160 10k in Raid 10 and am getting about 30-40mbps. but as yet i have not tested with a new server, or xen.
