The R760xd2 is a 2U dense storage chassis for safety and security workloads. It support single or dual processors. The R760xd2 chassis supports 24 x 3.5". It uses a single disk controller for both Boot and Storage capacity.
The test results are based on a model in which the constant-bandwidth surveillance video traffic remained unaffected during a single node maintenance cycle, disk rebuild, or node failure.
We performed all tests as follows:
With drive failuresin place in the R760XD2 cluster to ensure a worst-case scenariofor all sizing parameters.
With NIC failures to ensure a worst-casescenario for all sizing parameters.
With a per-camerabandwidth of 4 Mb/s.
The following table provides bandwidth-sizing guidelines based on our test results.
Note: All disk drives are NL-SAS 7200 RPM unless otherwise noted.
