Storage Consolidation with the Dell PowerVault MD3000i iSCSI Storage
By Dave Jaffe and Kendra Matthews To demonstrate the effectiveness of the PowerVault MD3000i in consolidating storage from multiple servers, a test was run in which the application data from servers hosting an Exchange 2007 cluster, a web server, a database server and a file server was stored on a single PowerVault MD3000i with 45 drives. The applications were driven for 8 hours, with two incremental Exchange backups performed as well. The PowerVault MD3000i was able to handle the I/O from all these servers, supporting 500 users on a fully redundant Exchange cluster, web and database servers hosting online e-commerce at a 2 billion orders per year clip, and a file server delivering over 700 files. In total the MD3000i supplied 387 GB during the 8-hour test.
