GeoDrive single instance performance can be summarized as follows:
- Peak throughput was observed predominately for file sizes of 100M (large files). Peak transaction rates were observed for files sizes of 10K (small files).
- Performances of mixed workloads are lower than the 100% workload scenarios.
- Performance tends to plateau for files greater than 100M and less than 100K.
- Workloads having a high percentage of restores affect overall performance when compared to workloads where uploads are predominant.
- A single instance of GeoDrive had a low to normal impact on the overall load of server used for this testing.
- A single instance of GeoDrive has minimal impact on ECS Appliance such that more instances of GeoDrive can be deployed on other servers to use the full potential of ECS Appliance.
The graphs in Figure 16 and Figure 17 show the transaction rates and throughput for each of the workloads respectively. This provides a better picture of how each of the workloads compare with each other and re- iterates some of the key points summarized above.
