How to perform a Cloud Harmony Test
This article applies to:
- Product edition: Phoenix Cloud
- Feature category: Configuration
Overview
Network throughput and latency are important cloud performance characteristics. To analyze the overall network performance, these characteristics need to be tested from the inSync Client/Phoenix agent systems to inSync/Phoenix cloud services.
This article provides to steps to capture the network performance from a inSync Client/agent system to inSync/Phoenix Cloud.
Perform cloud harmony test
To get the cloud harmony results:
- Go to https://cloudharmony.com/speedtest#.
- Enter Amazon EC2 - <storage region name> under Test your connection to these services.
For example, Amazon EC2 - ap-southeast-1 or Amazon EC2 - us-east-1, where ap-southeast-1 or us-east-1 is the storage region name. - To get the storage region:
- Login to Phoenix Management Console and
- Go to Storage and note the storage region name after the underscore.
For example:
<Storage Name>_<Region Name>
Druva-Test_us-east-1, where storage region is us-east-1
-
The first two columns represent the Uplink and Downlink information of the selected services (Amazon EC2 - ap-southeast-1).
-
The first column lists the average of six tests with a standard throughput between 256 KB to 10 MB per two threads for both uplink and downlink respectively.
-
The second column lists the average of 12 tests with throughput between 1 KB to 128 KB per four threads. For example, Average Uplink speed is 3.01 Mb/s and downlink is 1.74 Mb/s.
-
The third column shows the overall latency from the server to the selected service. For example, latency from the server to Amazon EC2 s at 282 ms.
Note: The backup and restore performance depends on a lot of environment variables including but not limited to network throughput and latency, file distribution, and machine performance
-
The following details are displayed on completion of the test.
-
Service (Lists the service name with the storage region. For example: Amazon EC2 - ap-southeast-1.)
-
Throughput (uplink & downlink) [256 KB - 10MB / 2 threads]
-
Throughput (uplink & downlink) [1-128 KB / 4 threads]
-
Latency
The output has three columns with default configuration selected on the previous screen. -
- Hover the mouse over the dots displayed in the first two columns to view additional details.
- Note the additional details and share them with Druva Support when requested.
