Dear community,

  I've had a conversation with Alexander, and he asked me to explain the
situation and will be very grateful for any advices.

  So demands look like these:

1. He has a number of clients which need to periodically write a set of
data as big as 160GB to a storage. The acceptable write speed is about a
minute for the such amount, so it is around 2700-2800MB per second. Each
write session will happend in a dedicated manner. Data read should also be
pretty fast. The written data must be shared after the write. Clients OS -
Windows.
2. It is necessary to have a regular storage as well. He thinks about 1.2TB
HDD storage with 34TB SSD cache tier at the moment.

The main question with an answer I don't have is how to calculate\predict
per client write speed for a ceph cluster? For example, if there will be a
cache tier or even a dedicated SSD-only pool with Intel S3710 or Samsung
SM863 drives - how to get approximation for the write speed? Concurent
writes to the 6-8 good SSD drives could probably give such speed, but is it
true for the cluster in general? 3 sets per 8 drives in 13 servers (with an
additional overhead for the network operations, ACKs and placement
calculations), QDR or FDR Inifiniband or 40GbE; we know drive specs, is
there a formula exists to calculate speed expectations from the raw speed
and/or IOPS point of view?

Or, from another side, if there are pre-requisites exist, how to be sure
the projected cluster meets them? I'm pretty sure it's a typical task, how
would you solve it?

Thanks a lot in advance and best regards,
Vladimir
