This feature lets your enterprise use its existing direct-attached tape solution to back up the iSCSI-attached array. The rollbacks worked flawlessly, restoring the data to the last snapshot image. Online volume resizing was equally painless.
Need for Speed
My benchmarks showed that the iSA1500 was capable of delivering 93 Mbps of read throughput over the Ethernet network. Write performance was significantly lower, coming in at a maximum of 54 Mbps. I discovered that read and write performance drops slightly when multiple hosts access the iSA1500 concurrently.
Although I was satisfied with the overall performance of the iSA1500, I was disappointed that I couldn't get more than about 1 Gbps of throughput from the dual-attached Gigabit Ethernet system. My test data showed that the biggest bottleneck was most likely the four-port RAID controller embedded in the unit, rather than the host system or the SATA disks.
Bottom Line
Bob Friday, Chief AI Officer for Juniper Networks, explains how the advanced technology is transforming operations.
Contact center leaders from 8x8, Awaken Intelligence, and 360insight discuss the importance of agent experience.
AI may force enterprises to rewire parts of their data centers so they are fully optimized to run such workloads. The question is do you use Ethernet or InfiniBand?
