Evaluating Server Based Storage for Eneterprise Workloads
In this free report, we examine the performance of server-based systems together with software-based storage to find their price-performance levels, testing utilized SDS running on Intel-based servers. The performance was measured utilizing a virtual-server benchmark, with results that may be compared to other published systems. Test results clearly show that system performance and price-performance improved significantly by using solid-state storage media, and in particular NVMe accessed media.
