We've been working with the all-flash performance #EMC #VxRack Nodes for some time now, previously looking at the system configured in two-layer in our SQL Server, #MySQL and #VMmark application benchmarks. In this last segment of two-layer testing before turning to HCI, we put the storage to work in HCIbench to gather synthetic performance numbers.

HCIbench Test Configuration
16 VMs10 VMDK per VM40GB VMDK (6.4TB footprint)Full-write storage initialization1.5 hour test intervals (30 minute preconditioning, 60 minute test sample period)
For testing the two-layer ScaleIO storage cluster we deployed one heavy-weight configuration for our workload profiles. This consisted of a 6.4TB data footprint out of 8TB usable.
