The purpose of the storage bandwidth test was to evaluate video storage and its application to the various Dell storage arrays and nodes.
Additional tests evaluated ESXi host hardware in relationship to virtual CPU settings and the resulting bandwidths.
During all the tests, we assumed that is correctly configured according to best practices and operates within the bandwidth, camera count, and other parameters.
Recorders for the storage protocol to be tested (iSCSI).
The test results associated with the previous procedure, for each tested Dell storage array or cluster, are presented in Dell Storage with Configuration Guide. The test results provide information about the maximum expected bandwidth per array or node, the disk configuration, as well as recommendations for various configuration parameters derived from extensive testing.
