Currently there is no more than 15-20 VM's running on my ovirt config. Attached are performance testing results on the local host and from a windows box. I have also attached my gluster volume configuration. There seems to be a significant performance loss between server performance and guest performance. Not sure if it is related to my limited bandwidth, mismatched server hardware or something else.</div>

I have a gluster replica 3 volume that we are testing for performance. In my current configuration is 1 server has 16X1.2TB( 10K 2.5 Inch) drives configured in Raid 10 with a 256k stripe. My 2nd server is configured with 4X6TB (3.5 Inch Drives) configured Raid 10 with a 256k stripe. Each server is configured with 802.3 Bond (4X1GB) network links. Each server is configured with write-back on the raid controller.</div>

I spikes are up to 1.5 Gbps, but i would say the average through put is maybe 256 Mbps.</div>
