SPC-1 Result for 12 Infortrend ESVA F60 Systems Consolidated
Throughput of 180,488.53 SPC-1 IO/s
This is a Press Release edited by StorageNewsletter.com on March 17, 2010 at 3:27 pmInfortrend Technology, Inc. announced that, based on the SPC-1 Result submitted to the Storage Performance Council (SPC), the company’s ESVA (Enterprise Scalable Virtualized Architecture) family had proven to be the midrange storage array providing the highest performance at the lowest total cost.
The Infortrend SPC-1 configuration consisted of 12 ESVA F60 systems that were consolidated into a storage pool through virtualization technology, working together to deliver an impressive throughput result of 180,488.53 SPC-1 IOPS(1) with an average response time of 8.38 milliseconds with the system at a 100 percent workload level, and an average response time of 1.79 milliseconds at a 10 percent workload level.
The SPC-1 Result also indicated that, at different workload levels ranging from 10 percent to 100 percent, ESVA provided similarly prompt responses to I/O operations. The performance can support online transactional processing and satisfy key business applications such as SQL, Exchange and Oracle. ESVA also achieved best-in-class SPC-1 Price-Performance of $5.12/ SPC-1 IOPS(1). ESVA offers the midrange storage market the throughput power which typically could only be found in high-end storage systems, at an affordable price.
"Infortrend is to be congratulated on submitting an outstanding first SPC-1 Result," said Walter E. Baker, SPC administrator. "Infortrend’s use of SPC-1 to demonstrate the ESVA F60’s performance, response time and price-performance provides end-users with objective and verifiable information that can be used in product comparisons and purchase decisions."
"By setting such a high performance record at a low cost and with a quick response time, ESVA has demonstrated its ability to help businesses deal with diverse applications and optimize return on investment. Additionally, ESVA is capable of even more than what can be measured by SPC-1 – it delivers many additional advanced features to simplify management, increase operational resiliency and improve data availability. For midrange customers, ESVA is an ideal solution to enhance business competitiveness while lowering total cost of ownership," said James Hsieh, vice president of global marketing at Infortrend.
