“…It is also based on OPNET with initial focus to simulate the FC-2 level of the FC protocol dealing with fabric login process on a single FC switch. In [19] a simulation framework for SAN management, named iSAN (imitation Storage Area Network), is proposed. It can be used to perform a simulation of management module ranging from individual device to large scale multi-vendor heterogeneous SAN for enterprise and for whatif-analysis of enterprise IT environment before modelling the changes.…”

CERN -the European Organization for Nuclear Research today, in the era of big data, is one of the biggest data generators in the world. Especially interesting is transient data storage system in the ALICE experiment. With the goal to optimize its performance this paper discusses a dynamic, discrete event simulation model of disk based Storage Area Network (SAN) and its usage for the performance analyses. Storage system model is based on modular, bottom up approach and the differences between measured and simulated values vary between 1.5 % and 4 % depending on the simulated component. Once finished, simulation model was used for detailed performance analyses. Among other findings it showed that system performances can be seriously affected if the array stripe size is larger than the size of cache on individual disks in the array, which so far has been completely ignored in the literature.
