The ever-increasing volume of unstructured file data needing to be shared, managed and protected has become a real problem for IT managers--particularly those who need to provide online access to shared files for revenue generating workflows and processes. This Lab Validation report by ESG explores how the IBRIX Fusion segmented file system leverages standard-based servers and storage to create a fast and scalable networked file system that is easy to deploy and manage.

Download the report to learn more about these key findings:

• Throughput is fast, regardless of file size or type. IBRIX Fusion ensures high performance when managing large files, small files and a high volume of files simultaneously. During testing on three servers, time-sensitive small file workloads scaled up to 75,000 NFS file operations per second and delivered up to 1,585 MB per second of aggregate throughput.
• A Scale-out architecture speeds workflow and drives revenue-generating processes across a wide variety of applications. In addition to its proven ability in media and entertainment, Internet services and high performance computing customer deployments, ESG Labs found that IBRIX Fusion works well for financial services applications. In a real-world stock ticker analysis program, IBRIX Fusion improved processing speeds by three times and clocked in at an outstanding rate of 264 MB/sec for a single stream read.
