+Storage test cases
+==================
+
+The QTIP benchmark suite aims to evaluate storage components within an OPNFV platform.
+For Brahamaputra release, FIO would evaluate File System performance for the host machine.
+It will also test the I/O performance provided by the hypervisor(KVM) when Storage benchmarks are run inside VMs.
+
+QTIP storage test cases consist of:
+
+**1. FIO Job to benchmark baremetal file system performance**
+
+**2. FIO Job to bechmark virtual machine file system performance**
+
+**Note: For Brahmaputra release, only the Ephemeral Storage is being tested. For C release persistent block and object storage would be tested.**
+
+The FIO Job would consist of:
+
+1. A file size of 5GB
+2. Random Read 50%, Random Write 50%
+3. Direct I/O
+4. Asynch I/O Engine
+5. I/O Queue depth of 2
+6. Block size :4K
+
+For this Job, I/O per second would be measured along mean I/O latency to provide storage performance numbers.
