We conducted the validation tests to determine how Milestone works with PowerStore storage arrays. An Isilon A2000 was used as the Archive DB for testing purposes.
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 single node test simulates a node failover.
Array | XProtect version | RAID | No. of Recorder | Bandwidth MB/s (Mb/s) | CPU performance % | |
Per Recorder | Array iSCSI | |||||
5000T (dual node) | 2020 | 5 (DRE) | 15 per node | 35 (280) | 1050 (8400) | 35 |
5000T (single node) | 2020 | 5 (DRE) 1 | 30 per node | 35 (280) | 1050 (8400) | 65 |
