This comes from Nutanix Bible (Steven Poitras): Looking at the Bandwidth For traditional storage, there are a few main types of media for I/O: [list] [*]Fiber Channel (FC)[list] [*]4-, 8-, and 10-Gb[/list] [*]Ethernet (including FCoE)[list] [*]1-, 10-Gb, (40-Gb IB), etc.[/list][/list]For the calculation below, we are using the 500MB/s Read and 460MB/s Write BW available from the Intel S3700. The calculation is done as follows: numSSD = ROUNDUP((numConnections * connBW (in GB/s))/ ssdBW (R or W)) NOTE: [i]Numbers were rounded up as a partial SSD isn’t possible. This also does not account for the necessary CPU required to handle all of the I/O and assumes unlimited controller CPU power.[/i] Network BWSS
