>Remember I’d also need to set up my storage properly to achieve that. A single SAS disk can transfer 6Gb/s at the interface and less at the platters/flash. So I’d need to have high-performance storage pools at both ends unless everything’s going to be cached in RAM.
What you dont have a multi stage 3par system that can handle 300k IOPs per sec?
I wish I did! The best I can get out of my sys at work is about 'only' 700-900 meg a second for exactly that reason (so 30-40 seconds to copy a DVD ). I have not bothered to bond the network connections out as the software is not stressing it out anyway. Dont have the budget for that sort of HW at the time though that would spike out the connections Had to go with what I call the 'poor mans' SAS. Been having a lot more luck going thru optimizing particular bits of the software to run better (less CPU and less IO). It was originally a bit of a rush job. So there are some long standing design issues. Network hardware is not one of them...
