CHAPTER 6
Maximizing Cluster
Performance
This chapter describes recommendations for maximizing the performance of your Acronis Storage clusters.
Note: Also consider updating hardware nodes in the cluster.
6.1 Carrying Out Performance Benchmarking
When testing the performance of a Acronis Storage cluster and comparing it with non-Acronis Storage setups:
• Compare configurations with similar redundancy levels. For example, it is incorrect to compare the per-
formance of a cluster with two or three replicas per data chunk with a standalone server that does not
use any data redundancy, like RAID 1, 10, or 5.
• Take into account the usage of file system interfaces. Keep in mind that mounting a Acronis Storage
cluster using the FUSE interface provides a convenient view into the cluster but is not optimal for perfor-
mance. Therefore, do benchmarks from inside Containers and virtual machines.
• Keep in mind that the data replication factor affects the cluster performance: clusters with two replicas
are slightly faster than those with three replicas.
