High file system performance is often a requirement for the purchase of a storage solution, and performance scalability is a key differentiator for the HP StorageWorks Enterprise File Services (EFS) Clustered Gateway product. Those customers who want high-performance storage and file services will likely purchase an XP disk array and two or more nodes of the Clustered Gateway product. This white paper describes a performance testing environment, testing approach, tuning considerations, and test results used to demonstrate the performance scalability of file services using multiple Clustered Gateway nodes, an HP StorageWorks XP12000 Disk Array, and the required network infrastructure.
