1. World of HELIOS: Andreas von Bechtolsheim
Do you know Andreas von Bechtolsheim, a co-founder of Sun in
1982? With our latest 10 Gigabit Ethernet performance testing
this name comes up again. We tested a Sun X4500 Server code-named
"Thumper", and a brand new 48 port 10 GB Ethernet switch
from Arastra. Exciting products, which have in common:
- Very innovative products
- Excellent price/performance
- Designed by Andreas von Bechtolsheim (Andy)
We have chosen to use these products for our network performance
testing. We did know that Andy was behind the Sun X64 servers,
after our testing was completed we also learned that he is behind
the 10 Gb switches. Very cool products, thank you Andy.
2. HELIOS UB+ file server offers record performance (600MB/s)
After using 1 Gigabit Ethernet for almost a decade, the time is
right to investigate server solutions utilizing 10 Gigabit network
servers. 10 Gigabit Ethernet for Mac and Windows clients will
go mainstream in the future. To keep up with 10 Gigabit networks
the server needs to provide sufficient disk I/O, which cannot
be achieved by using traditional Fibre Channel or SCSI storage
systems.
We believe that the excellent price/performace ratio of less than
1,- € (Euro) per Gigabyte for the complete server, warrants
serious consideration by all high demand sites. The complete tested
configuration is documented on the HELIOS web site:
