The S-Series combines the power of enterprise-class 15,000 RPM Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) drive technology, Quad-GbE front-end networking, dual quad-core Intel CPUs, a high-performance InfiniBand back-end, and up to 1.5 TB of globally coherent cache. The IQ5400S Storage System can scale out from a 3 node cluster to a 96 node cluster in a single filesystem.

Network Configuration ===================== Item Number of Ports No Network Type Used Notes ------ ------------ --------------- ----- 1 Jumbo Frame Gigabit 20 Integrated 10/100/1000 Ethernet Ethernet controller Network Configuration Notes --------------------------- two gigabit ethernet network interfaces were configured on each storage node. The interfaces were configured to use jumbo frames (MTU size of 9000 bytes). All network interfaces were connected to a Force10 E1200 switch, which provided connectivity to the clients.

A separate, integrated battery-backed RAM module is used to provide stable storage for writes that have not yet been written to disk. Stable Storage ============== Each storage node is equipped with an nvram journal that stores writes to the local disks; the nvram is protected by 2 batteries. In the event of double battery failure the node will no longer write to the local disks, but continues to write to the remaining storage nodes. System Under Test Configuration Notes ===================================== The system under test consisted of 10 IQ5400S storage nodes, 2U each, connected by DDR Infiniband. Each storage node provides 4 gigabit ethernet interfaces. for the purpose of this test, two of these interfaces were configured and connected to a gigabit ethernet switch.
