Well its time to go to 100G! Lets see if I can saturate these ConnectX-4 Cards.

What application?

I think you want to make triple sure that RDMA/iWarp gets enabled on these... otherwise, your CPU is going to be crying. Definitely looking forward to seeing more of this!

Gona throw these in an all NVMe Storage Space Server and post the performance, lets see what happens.

Threw it in some servers and didn't get a chance to optimize/configure any parameters. Here are the results 50GB transfer. When i get a chance I'll mess with the settings and see how close we can get =D.

 

CPU Usage was at a whopping 5%.

Single server Storage Spaces or Storage Spaces Direct?

 

Going to be getting 6 servers at work with 4 HPE NVMe 800GB Write Intensive SSDs each, going to throw them in to a S2D cluster just for the fun of it, not the actual use for them but I just wanna try it lol. Pure math on a straight simple setup it's slightly over 60GB/s steady state.

Yeah, I have 2 identical Storage Space Servers and just testing by transferring between the two on 2016 DataCenter. Haha, that sounds fun tell me how that goes.

Do an iperf3 test!
