We performed comprehensive testing with Milestone XProtect Corporate to benchmark the application performance in a Milestone tiered storage environment.
The archive process, when writing to an Isilon cluster, easily handled all video accumulated between archive process executions. In addition, various forced Isilon failures did not affect the Live DB to Archive DB process.
When using an Isilon cluster for the Archive DB, only two modifications to the XProtect Corporate configuration are necessary: increase the number of archive process threads; and increase the write block size to the Archive DB.
For both FC- and iSCSI-attached storage, formatting with 8,192 KB blocks for Live DB and 64 KB blocks for Archive DB is required.
