  • Comparing Filesystem Performance: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 Vs
    COMPARING FILE SYSTEM I/O PERFORMANCE: RED HAT ENTERPRISE LINUX 6 VS. MICROSOFT WINDOWS SERVER 2012 When choosing an operating system platform for your servers, you should know what I/O performance to expect from the operating system and file systems you select. In the Principled Technologies labs, using the IOzone file system benchmark, we compared the I/O performance of two operating systems and file system pairs, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 with ext4 and XFS file systems, and Microsoft Windows Server 2012 with NTFS and ReFS file systems. Our testing compared out-of-the-box configurations for each operating system, as well as tuned configurations optimized for better performance, to demonstrate how a few simple adjustments can elevate I/O performance of a file system. We found that file systems available with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 delivered better I/O performance than those shipped with Windows Server 2012, in both out-of- the-box and optimized configurations. With I/O performance playing such a critical role in most business applications, selecting the right file system and operating system combination is critical to help you achieve your hardware’s maximum potential. APRIL 2013 A PRINCIPLED TECHNOLOGIES TEST REPORT Commissioned by Red Hat, Inc. About file system and platform configurations While you can use IOzone to gauge disk performance, we concentrated on the file system performance of two operating systems (OSs): Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6, where we examined the ext4 and XFS file systems, and Microsoft Windows Server 2012 Datacenter Edition, where we examined NTFS and ReFS file systems.

  • Hypervisors Vs. Lightweight Virtualization: a Performance Comparison
    2015 IEEE International Conference on Cloud Engineering Hypervisors vs. Lightweight Virtualization: a Performance Comparison Roberto Morabito, Jimmy Kjällman, and Miika Komu Ericsson Research, NomadicLab Jorvas, Finland [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Abstract — Virtualization of operating systems provides a container and alternative solutions. The idea is to quantify the common way to run different services in the cloud. Recently, the level of overhead introduced by these platforms and the lightweight virtualization technologies claim to offer superior existing gap compared to a non-virtualized environment. performance. In this paper, we present a detailed performance The remainder of this paper is structured as follows: in comparison of traditional hypervisor based virtualization and Section II, literature review and a brief description of all the new lightweight solutions. In our measurements, we use several technologies and platforms evaluated is provided. The benchmarks tools in order to understand the strengths, methodology used to realize our performance comparison is weaknesses, and anomalies introduced by these different platforms in terms of processing, storage, memory and network. introduced in Section III. The benchmark results are presented Our results show that containers achieve generally better in Section IV. Finally, some concluding remarks and future performance when compared with traditional virtual machines work are provided in Section V. and other recent solutions. Albeit containers offer clearly more dense deployment of virtual machines, the performance II. BACKGROUND AND RELATED WORK difference with other technologies is in many cases relatively small. In this section, we provide an overview of the different technologies included in the performance comparison.

It provides a physically Feeling Good similar connection to SATA, however it still uses all the tried and true SCSI commands and Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare adds extra features such as more bandwidth, redundant controllers and better management hands-on features.

    Onnto DataTale 2-Bay RAID System review - PC Advisor http://www.pcadvisor.co.uk/reviews/index.cfm?ReviewID=3244365&pn=1 Ads by Google Hard Drive Raid Storage Raid Array SATA Storage SCSI Raid Reviews5,282 Reviews All Reviews > Hardware > Storage > Hard drives October 15, 2010 Onnto DataTale 2-Bay RAID System review Product Code: RS-M2QO The Onnto DataTale 2-Bay RAID System is a smart chassis to hold two hard disks, with four different connection options and choice of RAID configurations There may be a large selection of external storage solutions available nowadays, but once you start to look for specific features, you might find that the list becomes quite short. The Onnto DataTale 2-bay RAID System, sold by Storage Depot, is one product however that might be right up there at the top of that list. The Onnto DataTale 2-bay RAID System is designed to house two 3.5in hard disks and is attractive enough to sit handsomely on the desk. It connects by one of four standard desktop protocols. In order of speed these are: USB 2.0, FireWire 400, FireWire 800 and eSATA. As a two-drive system, we’re presented with a few options how to configure those disks. You can set to RAID 0, which combines the capacity of two drives and increases performance by striping data between the disks; RAID 1, which mirrors data between two disk for increased protection in case one disk fails; or JBOD (just a bunch of disks) which combines the drives with no additional speed or security failsafes, and lets you access the disks as two separate volumes.
