Honestly, I’m as excited about these

“under the hood” improvements just

about as much as the everything

else combined.

It seemed too good to be true.

We are seeing almost unbelievable

improvements on large VMs.

The scale [v7 provides] that we’re seeing

in testing is pretty amazing.

In my opinion [parallel processing]

may very well be the biggest feature

of this release.

Very, very impressed with [CPU usage reduction]

on backup proxy servers.

VMs with multiple disks process a few TIMES faster, so snapshots don’t

grow large and snapshot commit is no longer a pain in the … !

By far, the most impressive part of the testing was the performance of the backup

engine. The partner had installed on a fairly old 4 core physical server that did

not have direct SAN access, so backups were over network mode via 2 bonded

1GbE links. v6 did about 20 MB/s with CPU load around ~40% in this lab. v7

absolutely blew thru the backups, running at an average transfer rate of

200MB/s while task manager showed only ~5% CPU usage. It seemed too good

to be true. We were effectively storage bottlenecked with NBD mode.
