I hope I'm in the right place for this question. I am in the process of
creating a large scale production fileserver architecture for the purpose of
serving very large files (~4.5GB) to a small number of clients (~200). My
assumptions to this point have been that my throughput would be constrained by
hardware and not software, but I would like some validation of this thinking.
I am hoping to achieve throughput rates of ~200MB/s using whatever hardware
needed to achieve this (FC on the disk side, possible infiniband or multiple
1Gb ethernet links for network side). CPU would be 2-4 3+ Ghz, 8-16GB mem
(more if needed). I've "heard" that my throughput using Samba could be limited
to more like 80MB/s but I'm not sure why this would be the case.
Any experiences using Samba for throughput rates this high would be much
appreciated.
Thanks.
