Wipro helped
in porting of Linux based iSCSI initiator driver,
configuration utility and Management Information
Base (MIB) objects to Solaris using Solaris proprietary
driver framework.
Design optimization
Performance bencmarking was done for the drivers
at each stage of the developemnt. Optimization
of the driver’s performance was done using
methods like zero copying and efficient memory
management. The IO meter benchmark offers insight
into how fast an unformatted drive can handle
data throughput in IOps (inputs/outputs per second).
The Solaris driver had a throughput with IO meter
of 70 MBytes/ sec for 1 LUN with NetApp utilization
of 100 %.
Portable architecture
Wipro developed a common code framework so that
the driver is independent of the version of Solaris
Operating System and the driver can be easily
ported to various versions of Solaris without
much effort.
Quick turnaround
The ramp up of the team was done within 2 weeks
and the solution was developed within a short
span of 4 months.
