We set up a Dell EMC PowerEdge R840 server with three different drive configurations:
We used Yahoo! Cloud Serving Benchmark (YCSB) to run a 100% read workload on a MongoDB database. YCSB simulates analytics workloads that read large amounts of data and generate a result, represented as operations per second (OPS). Higher OPS indicate a solution’s ability to ingest and analyze data more efficiently. Our YCSB workload running on a MongoDB database is representative of an enterprise environment performing big data analytics. For more details on the configurations and how we performed testing, see the science behind the report.
MongoDB is a document-based database that uses ad hoc queries, indexing, and real-time aggregation to access and analyze unstructured data like web pages, emails, and videos. According to MongoDB, the vast majority of the data created today (over 95 percent) is unstructured.10
