network teaming vs disk performance formula
So far I haven't heard of a disk array sizing method for LAG. I'll have to see what my vendors say. My question was hypothetical I'm just looking for the sizing method for now. Quad port NICs are nice to have if your hardware has the speed to utilize it. Thanks guys. -

network teaming vs disk performance formula
Unfortunately I'm looking at sizing for new builds. I have to work with the specs from the manufacturers. Of course everything has to match up to prevent any bottlenecks. The Array controller, the slot it sits in, the drive specs and even the RAID technology would impact the performance. My... -
network teaming vs disk performance formula
I may need to rephrase my question. Does anyone have a formla for sizing RAID 5 and Gigabit Link Aggregation? -
network teaming vs disk performance formula
Not true. If I had a PCI 66MHZ BUS my array performance would suffer from the PCI bottleneck. What I'm looking at is disk performance sizing with link aggregation. Its not a SAN it's just a RAID controller. If I have 8 network cards the array needs to be able to utilize the bandwidth or its... -
network teaming vs disk performance formula
Hey Guys, I'm trying to determine how many network cards I want to use for link aggregation on a switch. The number of gigabit network cards I need depends on the speed of my RAID 5 Array. Question is, what is the formula for Array performance to determine how many network cards I should use in...
