Would love to test performance of Gluster Virtual Storage Appliance for VMware, but cannot get the demo. Emails and calls to Red Hat went unanswered. We've built a nice test system for the cluster at our lab, 8 modern servers running ESX4.1 and connected via 40gb InfiniBand fabric. Each server has 24 2.5" drives, SLC SSD and 10K SAS HDD-s connected to 6 LSI controllers with CacheCade (Pro 2.0 with write cache enabled,) 4 drives per controller. The plan is to test performance using bricks made of HDD-s cached with SSD-s, as well as HDD-s and SSD-s separately. Can anyone help getting the demo version of VSA? It’s fine if it’s a beta version, we just wanted to check the performance and scalability. |
