WekaFS does not use any internal memory to temporarily cache write data to the underlying storage system. All writes are commited directly to the storage disk, and protected via WekaFS Distributed Data Protection (16+2 in this case). There is no need for any RAM battery protection. In an event of a power failure a write in transit would not be acknowledged.
The system under test consisted of 16 x D64sv3 Azure client virtual machines and 64 x L8sv3 backend virtual machines. Each client has a 30Gbps network connection and each WEKA backend has 12.5Gbps network connection.

The solution under test was a standard WekaFS cluster in dedicated server mode. The solution will handle both large file I/O as well as small file random I/O and metadata intensive applications. No specialized tuning is required for different or mixed use workloads. None of the components used to perform the test were patched with Spectre or Meltdown patches (CVE-2017-5754, CVE-2017-5753, CVE-2017-5715).
