This guide describes the tests for the following storage arrays:
l
Isilon clusters
l
VNX arrays
For our testing, we used both single and dual storage processors for the full range of
VNX storage arrays and single- and multi-node performance testing on the Isilon
storage array.
Storage protocols
Dell EMC uses standard file protocols to enable users and applications to access data
that is consolidated on a Dell EMC storage solution.
This guide provides information about these network protocols:
l
FC
