A customer is implementing a new backup system using four backup appliances, with dual 10Gbps NICs writing to a FlashBlade. Each backup appliance can write at line speed.
What is the minimum number of 52TB blades to be able to handle this workload?
Hmm, 27 blades? That's a lot of blades. Are we sure this isn't a trick question and the answer is actually 35 blades? I mean, who has that many blades lying around just for backup purposes?
Wait, 8 blades? That seems way too low. With that much data being written, I'd think we'd need at least 15 blades to handle the workload. Unless those backup appliances are secretly Godzilla-sized.
I'm pretty sure the answer is 8 blades. The backup appliances can write at line speed, and with 4 of them and dual 10Gbps NICs, that's a lot of throughput that the FlashBlade needs to handle.
