- Use a dedicated 10G network for deployment. Use the iperf command to ensure that the network bandwidth is within acceptable limits.
- For better backup/ restore throughput, deploy proxies on multiple NICs on the same ESXi hypervisor or multiple ESXi hypervisors.
- Select an optimal number of proxies required using the following formula:
- Number of containers = Number of slice count / 8
- Number of proxies = Number of containers / 3
- Using large size files (MB size files) in an asset improves throughput, as compared to using small size files (KB size files). Try to limit the number of assets per policy to 10.
- Try to stagger the start time of multiple policies if more than one NAS policy must be run at a time.
