I've been looking for a while on the net for some numbers on NetBench
for a NetApp filer... my question is basically, for a NetApp filer like
the FAS960, how many client CIFS connections/sessions can it handle,
what is the maximum throughput and average latency?

Thanks
Jon.

I believe Iozone has a windows binary. I've used it for the *nix
environments and it works pretty well. It can give you throughput and
latency (response time).

www.iozone.org I believe.

Hi... The reason I am looking for a netbench report is to compare it to
a netbench report I am getting from BluArc. So IOZONE will not exactly
help. However, I am curious as to what your numbers were. Also, how
many concurrent clients did you have and what was the environment
(network etc)?

Thanks
Jon.

Well, you could always give the binary and your command line options
to Blue Arc and ask them to run it against their system. Request
config used of course but no reason they can't do it for you.

I don;t have the results of my Iozone's against NetApp filers, it's
been a long time.
