| 1 | 1 | Storage | Super Micro Computer | SYS-221H-TN24R | The current SYS-221H-TN24R is - 2 Intel dual Sapphire Rapids Xeon scalable 48 core processor, total 1 TiB memory, and dual socket MB - using NFSv4.2 protocol over a 100 GbE. SYS-221H-TN24R server provides IO/s from 2 file systems. The SYS-221H-TN24R server uses a dual socket processor and 14 NVMe SSD. SYS-221H-TN24R is running RHEL8.7 on 2 SATA SSD (RAID-1) using NFSv4.2 and 1 100GbE Ethernet networking. |
| 2 | 1 | 100Gbps or 40Gbps | Super Micro Computer | SSE-C3632S | The SSE-C3632S Layer 2/3 Ethernet Switch is the latest entry from Supermicro in the Open Networking arena. Open Networking provides customers with the ability to maximize the efficient and flexible use of valuable data center resources while providing an ideal platform for managing and maintaining those resources in a manner in tune with the needs of the organization. |
| 3 | 8 | Clients | Super Micro Computer | SYS-621BT-HNC8R | A single 2U SYS-621BT-HNC8R is supporting 4 nodes. In each node, there are 2 Intel dual Sapphire Rapids Xeon scalable 28 core processors, total 256GB memory, and dual socket MB. The Supermicro® Super I/O Module (SIOM) delivers up to 50% of I/O cost savings and freedom to select networking options from 1Gb/s to100Gb/s through a Supermicro optimized form factor that is easy to scale, service and manage across a broad range of Supermicro server and storage systems. The SIOM also enables a higher degree of system integration and increased capacity by saving PCI-E slots that are traditionally reserved for add on cards. With SIOM you choose your onboard I/O. |

The storage node does not use write cache to store data so writes are committed to disk immediately. All data is protected in the file system by a RAID-10 volume and spare storage configuration including metadata. The entire SUT is protected with redundant power supplies, both storage node and clients. Storage node have two SATA device for OS redundancy.
The solution is a configuration by Supermicro with managing metadata for the file system. SYS-221H-TN24R storage node is the new generation of all-flash SuperServer that delivers a massive improvement in storage performance.
None.
The storage node is connected to 100Gbit ethernet switch and 8 clients are connected to 100Gbit Switch via 100Gbit. No special tuning parameters are used in the connections. The file system is created and shared over NFSv4.2. Please refer to the diagram.
The Spectre or Meltdown (CVE-2017-5754, CVE-2017-5753, CVE-2017-5715) fix were applied to CPU and OS by vendors.
