Western Digital OpenFlex Data24 Performance Testing

Harshavardhana Harshavardhana on Benchmarks 11 April 2022

We recently benchmarked MinIO S3 performance on the Western Digital OpenFlex Data24 using the WARP benchmark tool. Western Digital’s OpenFlex Data24 [https://www.westerndigital.com/products/data-center-platforms/openflex-data24-nvme-of-platform] NVMe-oF Storage Platform extends the high performance of NVMe flash to shared storage. It provides low-latency sharing of NVMe SSDs over a high-performance Ethernet fabric to deliver similar performance to locally

Still, customers often need to move large amounts (100s of TBs up to PBs) with some frequency. Amazon knows this and has, in their intensely customer

Relaxing the 32-Node Restriction on MinIO

MinIO previously imposed a much-discussed 32-node per cluster limit, which we lifted in December. There was no hard technical reason for the 32-node limit — you can use MinIO to create 1,000 node clusters. That reason we imposed the limit was to drive good architectural decisions. We learned, however, that some saw this as a limitation (indeed some competitors suggested
