Fast and Slow Network for Storage We tested the influence of network speed on storage operations by looking at maximum random IOPS and maximum data throughput using 1 Gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections. The results show a relatively small effect on the maximum number of random 4KB IOPS, but a clear difference when transmitting larger files, where the nominal transmission limit of 125 MB/s for 1G Ethernet is reached.

Comparing Configurations
Fast and Slow Network for Storage
We tested the influence of network speed on storage operations by looking at maximum
random IOPS and maximum data throughput using 1 Gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet
connections.
The results show a relatively small effect on the maximum number of random 4KB IOPS, but
a clear difference when transmitting larger files, where the nominal transmission limit of 125
MB/s for 1G Ethernet is reached.
