The current solution was able to deliver fairly good performance, which is expected to be stable regardless of the used space (since the system was formatted in scattered mode), as can be seen in Table 5. Furthermore, the solution scales in capacity and performance linearly as more storage nodes modules are added, and a similar performance increase can be expected from the optional high-demand metadata module.
