Applications were used to read and write to the iSCSI storage, including basic Windows management functions such as Disk Manager.
In addition, IOMeter was used to read and write various block sizes to the iSCSI storage. IOMeter is an open-source I/O load generator and performance analysis tool. IOMeter is available from Source Forge at: http://sourceforge.net/projects/iometer/.
Although this report is not a performance benchmark for iSCSI storage solutions, some performance data are included to provide a general idea of the type of performance that can be expected with some iSCSI storage solutions. Two different lab locations and two different sets of servers were used for the deployments described in this document.
