The paper is available here: PDF

When integrating the FS7500 into an existing SAN, you need to understand the potential impacts to the existing SAN.The goal of this paper is to understand:
  • What is the performance impact of adding file I/O to an existing block-based SAN with additional hosts attached?
  • Is it OK to mix block and file I/O in the same pool, or is it better to keep them separated?
  • How much does adding additional arrays to an existing shared pool benefit the overall SAN performance?
  • How much free space is required for the FS7500?
  • How many additional network ports are required when integrating the FS7500 into an existing SAN?

The results presented in this paper can be used as a guideline to help you determine the right answers for your own environment.
