Item NoQtyTypeVendorModel/NameDescription
114U Rackmount Storage ServerNettrixR640 G50The R640 G50 is a high-end 4U rack-mounted high-density storage server. It is powered by dual Intel Xeon Platinum 8592+ CPU @ 1.9GHz, with 16 x 64GB DDR5 memory running at 5600 MT/s. For this storage testing, the server model is configured with 8 x 2.5" hot-swap NVMe drives, 32 x 3.5" SATA drives and 1 x M.2 SATA SSD. Only the 8 x 2.5" hot-swap NVMe SSDs were used for storage testing, and the M.2 drive was used for OS.

Stable Storage

The XFS file system provides journaling support for filesystem protection.

Solution Under Test Configuration Notes

The benchmark was performed on a single Nettrix R640 G50 server equipped with local NVMe storage disks. 8 NVMe SSD disks were setup with XFS filesystem and mounted. RHEL-9.2 OS was installed on a SATA SSD. No additional external clients, storage devices, or network devices were connected to this setup. The system features dual Intel Xeon Platinum 8592+ processors with 128 cores (2 x 64cores) and 8 x 2.5" NVMe SSDs were utilized to run this benchmark. The testing was executed with Hyper-Threading enabled in BIOS to enable 256 threads for enhanced processing power.

Other Solution Notes

None.

Dataflow

This server contains 8 NVMe SSD disks for local storage. The disks have been set up with XFS filesystem and mounted. Data is written directly onto the XFS filesystem and the NVMe storage devices, with no other external storage devices being used.

Other Notes

The benchmark was performed on a single Nettrix R640 G50 server equipped with local NVMe storage disks. No additional external clients, storage devices, or network devices were connected to this setup. Benchmarking was performed on Red Hat Enterprise Linux release 9.2 (Plow) using the default kernel 5.14.0-284.11.1.el9_2.x86_64. The Spectre or Meltdown (CVE-2017-5754, CVE-2017-5753, CVE-2017-5715) fix were applied to CPU and OS by vendors.

Other Report Notes

None.
