Hi Alex,
I have compared ioDrive against HDD with Infiniband as an interconnect
between DRBD nodes. The pgbench's tps (transaction per second) is used
as an index.
The combination of DRBD, ioDrive, and Infiniband is amazing.
w/o DRBD w/ DRBD
------------------------------------------------
SAS HDD RAID0 (w/ BBWC) 725 719
SATA SSD RAID0 (w/ BBWC) 2257 2182
ioDrive 4948 4449
The whole performance decreased with DRBD for all cases but this will
not be a show-stopper for most use cases, I think.
I am sorry to say that we do not have experience with 10GbE simply
because we could not prepare it. However, because network latency
influences the performance of DRBD, and latency of Infiniband is said to
be too small than 10GbE, and price of Infiniband is not so expensive, I
would recommend to consider Infiniband (IPoIB).
