In this paper we propose a component-based analytical performance model for IP-based SAN. This model evaluates and analyzes the behavior of IP network, cache, RAID and disks under multiple synchronous I/O workloads by using closed queueing networks. The theoretical results are compared with the results from a real IP-based SAN using a variety of synthetic workloads. These experiments prove that the component-based method is an appropriate way to build performance model for a complex storage system. Using the model, we can find out that the bottleneck of SAN performance is network or storage node under different workloads or applications. We also identify areas for future research in the performance analysis of real IP-based SAN.
