xiRAID in a 4K/8K Video environment

The perfect software RAID for data storage systems in the media and entertainment industry.

SOFTWARE RAID WITH NVME® FOR THE HIGHEST FRAMES PER SECOND

Here's how it's possible!

xiRAID has been optimized to work with NVMe® storage devices, enabling the use of up to 97% of the hardware capabilities of modern and fast NVMe drives. These results are made possible by high I/O parallelism and a block-free data path.

Internal testing has shown that xiRAID is capable of providing sufficient performance to process up to 8 streams of uncompressed 4k video at 60 frames per second.

Tests were performed using the TestIO tool (part of the Blackmagic DaVinci Resolve suite) and the frametest tool. Hardware specifications and test results below.

xiRAID6 performance (frametest)

Testing was started with the following parameters: frametest -r -z49856 -n9000 -t4 /mnt/xfs/<stream number>.
r – reads, z – frame size (КB), n – number of frames, t – number of threads per task.

xiRAID6 performance (TESTIO)

Startup parameters for each stream: /TestIO /mnt/xfs/1 50 9000 4 0 1.
First parameter – frame size (MB), second – number of frames, third – number of threads, fourth – CPU occupancy, fifth – direct IO (1 - direct, 0 – not direct).
