Analytico Compared New HP 9100 With DataDirect S2A9900, EMC CX380, LSI XBB2, Sun X4500 and Isilon IQ
This is a Press Release edited by StorageNewsletter.com on Mon, May 12th, 2008
On behalf of DataDirect
In the report, Trainer wrote that "HP is the latest entrant in this field, with its newly introduced Extreme Data Storage System, however the product is not all that extreme considering that it offers less than 1/4 the capacity of the DataDirect Networks S2A9900, as well as less than half the host throughput and no Dynamic MAID (D-MAID) capability. HP's EDS9100 only exists in press release form at this time, and will not be generally available for another 8 months."
Trainer also said, "With D-MAID, DataDirect Networks enables clients to dynamically spin down LUNS and enter a power saving mode based on user-specified parameters. Contrast to other MAID implementations, DataDirect Networks can have all of its disks spinning up or down simultaneously which enables transparent access to all data sets and truly makes this the greenest storage platform for extreme environments so far."
Trainer concludes: "Analytico believes that over 10 years experience in design and delivery of high performance storage systems has evolved into an ability by DataDirect Networks to deliver products that go beyond meeting the standard requirements--they meet the extreme environment requirements. With storage platforms that form the data backbone of the XBOX Live and Zune Marketplace; that serve as the throughput enablers for Pacific Title to create a multitude of HD trailers for the forthcoming box office mega hit, The Dark Knight; to the storage that enables Slide.com--the 200th most visited site on the Web--to serve images to millions of users on Facebook.com, DataDirect Networks is the leader in extreme storage environments. The bottom line is that DataDirect Networks represents Extreme Storage deliverable today, while competitor's recently announced production intentions are extreme for sure--with extremely long lead time to actual product delivery."
