Description (last modified by davidsarah)

Fabrice, the entrepeneur behind Allmydata, says that our reference test should be 25,000 files and 100 GB -- "VERY WELL and RELIABLY!". He says this is necessary to be competitive with Carbonite, Mozy, etc.. He promises to raise the bar to 100,000 files and 500 GB as soon as we reach 25,000 files and 100 GB. ;-)

This ticket is to implement automated measurements of the performance of the lots of file-upload tasks (with various levels of parallelism?), connecting to some relatively stable grid.

To what degree the Tahoe node sees the file-upload tasks as parallel or sequential is up to the Windows native client, and invisible to this automated test.

  • Summary changed from how does the Windows native client handle lots of file-upload tasks? to how does the whole system including the Windows native client handle lots of file-upload tasks?

Note that we have to do this test manually before making a release of the allmydata.com backup product (and if we don't, Fabrice will). This ticket is about automating that process.
