Tests
For the benchmarking section of this article, I used two testing products on one of our test servers running Windows 2003 Enterprise Edition with 16 GB of RAM and two 2.33 GHz Intel Xeon E5410 CPUs with clock speeds. IOMeter was used to measure storage-related features on the three different RAID types used in our test Windows 2003 machine. I then used SiSoftware’s Sandra to compare the CPU, memory, (more) storage, and network benchmarks to other available products.
