InfiniBox testing

On April 18, 2016 the I-Teco company announced carrying out stress testing of the InfiniBox F2130 disk array as a part of a hardware and software system of the corporate virtualization "EC2015-Terem" in own laboratory.

The younger model in a line of the products of the Israeli company Infinidat which are not falling under sanctions underwent testing.

InfiniBox F2130 with 120 hard drives with the interface of SAS, the maximum capacity of useful space 250tb, a cache memory on solid-state disks amount 21tb and 768 GB of RAM of controllers. Engineers of I-Teco, changing such input parameters as the block size, the nature of workload, a ratio of transactions of reading and record, received the results showing the high technical performances of InfiniBox F2130 which are completely declared the producer confirmatory digits.

At consecutive transactions, value of the block 4 Kb and a ratio of input-output 50/50 disk array showed result of 233,225 IOPS that is very high rate among devices of a similar class. When modeling accidental loading at the same initial data received result of 221,126 IOPS. When testing an array in the mode "only reading" results were about one third higher. For testing the stand constructed on the basis of ProLiant HP servers with 10-core processors, MS Windows Server 2008 R2 OS and the storage area network for access to an array with a speed of 8 Gb/s was used.

On the second test stage of InfiniBox F2130 integrated into structure of a HSS of the corporate virtualization "EC2015-Terem". Access to the disk array to servers of hypervisors was organized, as on block (Fibre Chanel, iSCSI), and under file (NFS) protocols. For collecting of detailed data on work of an array as a part of a HSS a set of the software InfiniMetrics unrolled in virtual environment of the EC2015-Terem complex was used.

To provide expanded interaction of physical servers hypervisors as a part of a HSS with the disk array on them in addition set software of Infinidat Host Power Tools, allowing to check optimality of settings of the server in terms of communication with an array, to manage selection of disk space from server side.

Laboratory testing of InfiniBox F2130 at head office "I-Teco" confirmed that we made a right choice, having begun last year active cooperation with representative office of Infinidat in Russia. Capacity of the disk array allows to compete practically with any other similar device, and taking into account reliability of products of Infinidat and compactness of placement at this array in the market there are not a lot of competitors. Now we are ready to invite to testing of products of InfiniBox and the HSS "EC2015-Terem" in our laboratory as regular customers of the company, and those who else are going to purchase guaranteed reliable and high-speed equipment.
