Research on Disk Array Parallel Test

Researches on technologies about testing IOPS and data transfer speed of disk arrays in mass storage systems. We propose a parallel testing technology towards the high performance disk array and realize the testing work on the newest developed disk array. By taking researches on many factors which effect disk performance seriously and quantifying them through experiments, so we realize evaluations on the whole disk array. Finally, we take researches on bottlenecks of the disk arrays and prove the results to be correct.
