Hi all, I am looking for a NAS server to work over NFS for 15-20 pieces of my linux servers.
These servers will be involved in heavy reading and writing (about 30Mbps up and down each server) of experimental data collected from a network of probes. I am thinking of using a NAS solution (I have got a GigE LAN already) from either NetApp (F825) or EMC (Celerra) as centralized storaged for all the servers. I am concerned about the following: 1) Fast read and write performance for consistant stream of small files 2) Ability to store LARGE (> 10million per 200GB) amount of small files 3) Reliability...should not crash or go down when under consistent heavy load. Any comments about their performance?
