Linux on Big Iron

Running some basic tests for S3 object creation using some lab resources loaned to us after the main testing was done.

MINIO on a 16 IFL LinuxOne LPAR running Redhat is creating ~1600 64K S3 objects per bucket per second.

Being driven by 10 threads running on a Linux box that are doing S3 calls from Perl.

Looking at the disk (Flash storage) I/O backend I am writing a little over 1Gigabyte per second, thus hitting the line rate limit of the 10Gbit network as there is not significant wait time, only .2% Wait I/O.

Hoping to convince them to let me have another box or two to drive more I/O, preferably another ZLinux LPAR so I can use the LinuxOne frame network instead of 10G and see what the limit is.
