Studies were previously conducted to understand the performance of GeoDrive, uncover the limitations, and measure its full capabilities. The investigation into the advanced options such as number of upload and restore threads, and multipart threads to determine if these parameters can be tuned to improve the overall performance of large file transfers was also done. Analysis which are not in the scope of this study include: geo-replication setup, since replication is done within ECS and performance of GeoDrive is affected in scenario where one site goes down and data would need to be retrieved from a remote site; and enabling other ECS features such as Access During Outage and Data at Rest Encryption.
Note: Windows systems which have been patched for the Meltdown and Spectre vulnerabilities may result in decreased performance compared to non-patched systems.
