WikitipPerformance benefits of Multithread RobocopyRobocopy (“robust file copy”), included with Windows operating systems, is a rich file copy utility with many options. Note that the syntax for Robocopy is different than the COPY or XCOPY commands. To get started with robocopy, open a command prompt and enter: robocopy. For this presentation we compared the results with and without the multithread option: robocopy /MT. Using the multithread option in most cases results in faster or significantly faster file copy operations than without the multithread option. The multithread option was introduced in Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2. When using the multithread option, the thread count can be 1 – 128, with a default of 8 threads. Robocopy takes advantage of Server Message Block (SMB) version 2.1, a file and print services network protocol, also sometimes known as CIFS. For additional detail on SMB 2.1 see: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff625695(WS.10).aspx. For the tests shown in the presentation, we used two relatively new servers running Windows Server 2008 R2 and did local disk-to-disk (array) copies and copies across the network, using 1GbE and 10GbE infrastructure. We used three sets of files in these robocopy tests:

Featured Case StudyFinancial giant goes greenThe corporate IT group of a very large, worldwide financial organization with 100,000 employees, has initiated an ongoing “greening” process. This is focused largely on reducing energy use both to decrease the corporation's carbon footprint while creating a net savings in operational costs over the lifetime of new, more energy-efficient equipment, including new storage systems. |

Featured How-To Note |
Planning a Green Storage InitiativeFluctuating energy prices have heightened electricity and energy consumption as a major issue within the technology community. IT is a significant consumer of energy and IT energy costs have been rising disproportionately because of continued investment in denser IT equipment. Estimates from the EPA and others indicate that IT will account for 3% of energy consumption by 2012. |
