Matt McSpirit: This is a combination of technology that I’m starting to see on a pretty regular basis. People looking at virtualisation, are typically weighing up new hardware, and from a server perspective, it makes sense to go for the latest and greatest CPUs (from both Intel and AMD) because of their virtualisation optimisations. When it comes to storage however, more and more customers are learning to appreciate the performance that iSCSI can bring, yet at a great price point when compared with Fibre implementations. This isn’t obviously correct for all scenarios, but, typically the rule holds. Stephen’s got a great example of this here. Stephen’s also got a link to a test performed back in March last year where Microsoft and Intel, combining the technologies above, pushed over 1 million IOPS.
