NetBench NetBench is our benchmark test for checking the performance of network file servers. NetBench provides away to measure, analyze, and predict how a file server will handle network file IO requests. It monitors the response of the server as multiple clients request data, and reports the server’s total throughput. To test application servers, you should use the ServerBench utility instead. ServerBench ServerBench is the latest version of Ziff-Davis’ standard benchmark for measuring the performance of servers in a true client/server environment. Server-Bench clients make requests of an application that runs on the server—the server’s ability to service those requests is reported in transactions per second. ServerBench 4.0 runs on IBM’s OS Warp Server, Microsoft’s Windows NT Server 4.0 (for both Digital Alpha and x86-compatible processors, Novell’s NetWare 4.11, Sun’s Solaris 2.5 on SPARC, and SCO’s OpenServer Release 5 and UnixWare 2.1. To test network file servers, use the NetBench utility instead.
