We conducted the validation tests to determine how Genetec works with PowerStore storage systems. A PowerStore 5000T with Fibre Channel (FC) was used as the video storage for testing purposes.
A GenetecArchiver supports up to 62.5 MB/s (500 Mb/s) or 300 cameras.
The test results shown in the following table are based on a conservative model to ensure that the constant-bandwidth video traffic is unaffected during a single storage processor (SP) maintenance cycle, disk rebuild, or similar performance-intensive events.
The PowerStore 5000T test results are shown in the following graphics.
1 Dynamic Resiliency Engine
2 DRE rebuilds smaller chunks of the drive simultaneously to multiple drives in the appliance. Intelligent allocation of unused user space is designed to replenish spare space for handling multiple drive failures automatically.
