Good post KJ and performance article KJ writes: <<Remember, the solution owners are the SUN, HWP , IBM, Hitachi, EMC. Mostly made up of server companies. EMC made it up there because of their sheer size>> And it up to these companies, as well as Compaq and Dell to compete and exploit this growing sector, created mostly by EMC. They want a piece of that space. Article states: <<The switch vendors were advised in advance of the testing, and accepted our decision to use the QLogic HBAs for the tests.>> <<Then we launched random 10M-byte disk reads from seven initiators to 14 disk targets, and ascertained and disconnected the active link. For each test, the Finisar Gigabit Traffic Analyzer recorded the elapsed time from when traffic ceased to when it resumed.>> Show me the SAN that does only 10MB transfers. This is not a benchmark or real world test. Anybody with some knowledge about how well the SANbox8,16 do with a mix of transfer sizes/load? The above companies would do a similar test, much more extensively. Show me the data! <However, in other comparative throughput tests -with the servers performing disk writes, and mixed reads and writes -SilkWorm emerged with the highest average throughputs. The Capellix 2000G came in second, and the Vixel 7100 and 7200 placed third. The SANbox consistently came in last. The concurrent reads-and-writes environment is closest to a real-world environment that users are likely to see.> Only 10MB transfers? Does it make a difference? Say it aint so. Long QLGC.
