Reference Architecture for High-Performance Video Workloads Using StorNext 7, Quantum F-Series, SPEC SFS 2014 SP2 VDA

Posted on by

StorNext® is a high-performance file system ideal for high throughput, low latency workloads, and is used extensively in media and entertainment, different forms of scientific research and computing, and for video surveillance capture and recording. Quantum built this reference architecture and performed the testing using commercially available off-the-shelf products, and the results set new benchmarks for:

  • The highest number of concurrent streams (7,450)
  • The lowest latencies (overall response time of 0.90 msec)
  • The highest aggregate throughput (34,391 MB/sec)

Further, StorNext demonstrated these results at a much lower $ per concurrent stream with:

  • 57% fewer storage nodes
  • Significantly less expensive hardware (less CPU & memory)
  • Fewer NVMe drives

More details on the results and the reference architecture are provided in this paper.
