The question: Is CFS scalable? What performance hit is there from running VxFS in a clustered configuration?
 
Often times in sales situations, we are asked what the performance implications are of running CFS.
 
Customers are eager to know what the performance hit would be from operating in a clustered environment. This is particularly interesting to customers who are considering deploying our CFS HA solution as an upgrade to the regular Storage Foundation HA solution. They want want to know what CFS is going to cost in performance, and so did we.

Hello all! Welcome to the Cluster File System blog.
 
 
This blog will serve as a sounding board for engineering and product management to discuss their views on cluster file systems:
 
  • What are they good for?
  • Where do we feel they can provide the most benefit?
  • What are some of the interesting use cases we have seen?
  • What notable improvements have we made in our product?
  • Where do we see the technology going? How would we like to shape the future of CFS?
 
The first entry will discuss some of our recent scalability findings which will be published shortly in both the form of a white paper and a press release. We are very excited about the results. So please, read on...
