Linux NIC and iSCSI Performance over 40GbE
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Executive Summary This paper presents NIC and iSCSI performance results comparing Chelsio’s T580-CR and Intel’s latest XL710 “Fortville” server adapter running at 40Gbps. The results demonstrate that Chelsio’s NIC provides consistently superior results, lower CPU utilization, higher throughput and drastically lower latency, with outstanding small I/O performance. The T580 notably delivers line rate 40Gbps at the I/O sizes that are more representative of actual application use.

Building Enterprise-Class Storage Using 40GbE
Executive Summary This white paper focuses on providing benchmarking results that highlight the Chelsio T5 performance advantage across the full range of storage networking protocols including iSCSI, iSCSI over RDMA (iSER), Windows Server 2012 SMB 3.0, Lustre over RDMA, NFS over RDMA and FCoE. Benchmarking results show T5 to be an ideal fit for high-performance storage networking solutions acro...
متن کاملLinux iSER Performance
Executive Summary The iSCSI Extensions for RDMA (iSER) protocol is a translation layer for operating iSCSI over RDMA transports, such as iWARP/Ethernet or InfiniBand. This paper presents iSER performance results comparing iWARP RDMA over 40Gb Ethernet and FDR InfiniBand (IB). The results demonstrate that iSER over Chelsio’s iWARP RDMA adapters achieves consistently superior results in throughpu...
متن کاملiSCSI Initiator Design and Implementation Experience
The iSCSI protocol provides access to SCSI devices over a TCP transport. Using the iSCSI protocol enables one to build a Storage Area Network using standard Ethernet infrastructure and standard networking management tools. This paper outlines how we implemented a family of iSCSI initiators on a common core. The initially supported initiators were on the Windows NT and the Linux Operating System...
متن کاملA Performance Comparison of NFS and iSCSI for IP-Networked Storage
IP-networked storage protocols such as NFS and iSCSI have become increasingly common in today’s LAN environments. In this paper, we experimentally compare NFS and iSCSI performance for environments with no data sharing across machines. Our microand macro-benchmarking results on the Linux platform show that iSCSI and NFS are comparable for data-intensive workloads, while the former outperforms l...
متن کاملIntroducing SCSI-to-IP Cache for Storage Area Networks
Data storage plays an essential role in today’s fastgrowing data-intensive network services. iSCSI is one of the most recent standards that allow SCSI protocols to be carried out over IP networks. However, the disparities between SCSI and IP prevent fast and efficient deployment of SAN (Storage Area Network) over IP. This paper introduces STICS (SCSI-To-IP Cache Storage), a novel storage archit...
