I have a Unitrends guest VM (esxi 5.5) configured with 6 cores and 12 GB ram.
I've setup archive storage using cifs (configured in the Unitrends gui). I'm seeing a max speed of 50-60 Mbps, while the link itself is capable of 1 Gbps. If I test speeds using another VM on the same host I can easily max out the 1Gb link. My backup speeds are usually around 300 Mbit, and restores can be double that.
Is this normal? Unitrends support didn't have any answers so I wanted to check with other users.
Thanks
