There is an increase in data intensive applications now a days. With this popularity of data intensive applications, the data requests gets flooded in the network and creates a bottleneck near the storage disks. The existing architecture contains different set of storage nodes with huge amount of disk capacity and data scattered among these storage nodes. The Application request is broken down into multiple I/O requests and routed to various storage nodes to get serviced. When considering the performance modelling of such storage nodes in network, researchers tend to propose the performance modelling of the system from the perspective of application and factors hindering the functioning of applications. None of the papers have ever discussed in detail how and what approach was adhered to realise the proposed performance modelling. This paper proposes a holistic approach for validating the proposed performance model of an embedded storage array. The holistic approach will mostly cover how the configuration and component architecture of storage array and tools are to be used for validation of mathematical model along with application workloads.
