Performance of an IBM Storage Scale CES S3 cluster

The performance of an IBM Storage Scale CES S3 cluster is highly dependent on an underlying infrastructure and workload.

IBM published the following benchmark results for IBM Storage Scale CES S3 Technical Preview:

COSBench using objects with a size of 1 GB running against a three-node IBM Storage Scale System CES S3 cluster and using IBM Storage Scale System 3200 as the back-end storage:
- 63+ GB/s aggregated throughput for read workloads
- 24+ GB/s aggregated throughput for write workloads
COSBench using small objects of different sizes ranging from 4 KB to 8 MB, running against a three-node IBM Storage Scale System CES S3 cluster and using IBM Storage Scale 3200 as the back-end storage:
- 56K ops/s read for 4K objects
- 4.6K ops/s write for 4K objects
