Testing of Network Attached Storage (NAS) Arrays is a challenging subject & many OEMs face a daunting task when it comes to performing non-functional testing such as Performance. Another challenge is to test how scalable their product is in-terms of maximum simultaneous connections. Both these kind of testing needs thorough knowledge of not just the filesystem protocol, but the backend filesystem running on the NAS filer as well as the knowledge of client side functions to measure the performance as exhibited by the NAS sub-system. Scalability testing requires gamut of filesystem clients of different kernel version supporting different protocol version & also multiple such clients supporting similar kernel/protocol version. This raises the IT budget for procuring Bare Metal or Hypervisor served VMs, thus increasing the input cost for Product Development team to build, test & release the product under development. With the re-invention of Linux Containers & it...

India’s Economy is growing rapidly. There is massive migration of people from rural to urban areas.  Cities are expanding in all directions. Local government is pressurized to expand and increase the physical infrastructure to accommodate the increasing population.  Government of India has initiated an ambitious Smart Cities programme to make cities livable.  This programme tries to solve the problem of rapid urbanization. It includes developing new cities and modernizing existing cities. The focus is on improving core infrastructure services like water supply, sanitation, solid waste management, transportation, affordable housing, power supply and robust IT connectivity. The Smart city should enable citizen’s participation and provide good governance. Building infrastructure needs domain expertise and huge capital expenditure. Local government bodies have to ensure that all these facilities are optimally used by citizens. The Smart City prog...
