It this point I am exploring the feasibility of a couple of options. 1. Load test suits. Running various simulations that would enable us to reproducibly load test the server hardware. 2. As you suggest a bunch of VMs on a server. We could direct connect the VM server to the piece of hardware on which we are testing the school server using a cable 3. Alternatively, I was wondering about the possibility of a running a bunch of wireless usb dongles from the VM server so we can get more realistic wireless network device capacity. Each VM would be running a dongle. 4. A test bed of actual laptop. As we shift from option one to option four things get more complex and expensive.... yet the quality of test will improve. I am in the early of exploring what is possible on a really tight budget :) Tight as in if I skip my ice cream cone this week, I can buy a usb dongle. > On Sat, Aug 31, 2013 at 7:20 PM, David Farning > <dfarn...@activitycentral.com> wrote: >> >> I was wondering if anyone was aware of any unused XOs laying >> around.... which were meant for a school of deployments. >> >> We are interested in doing some load testing for network hardware and >> XSCE performance. >> >> My dream setup would be 30-60 XO1's arranged semi-permanently in >> someone's spare room.
