Avere Beats Out EMC and NetApp

In NAS benchmark test

Avere Systems, Inc., in NAS optimization, achieved record SPECsfs2008 NFS results for the second time in two years with its new hybrid Edge filer, the FXT 3800, continuing to beat out solutions from EMC Corp. and NetApp, Inc.

The results also demonstrate Avere’s edge-core architecture delivers application performance to any NAS environment, including those where the storage is located across a long geographic distance from the end-users, with up to an 80% reduction in cost and footprint in comparison to legacy NAS solutions.
 
Continues Stronghold
and Delivers Unparalleled Performance for Private cloud

Prior to this latest benchmark result, Avere already held the top spot for highest performance for a single file system/namespace. For the new test, Avere inserted 150ms of latency – equivalent to a cross-continental WAN link – between the Edge and Core filers that comprised the system under test, demonstrating the viability of a private cloud for enterprise applications requiring shared storage.
 
"We have two goals with this latest benchmark test," said Mike Kazar, CTO, Avere. "The first is to demonstrate that you get the best performance at the lowest cost by using a combination of storage media in the most efficient manner. The second is to demonstrate that the only way to use cloud storage for anything other than backup or archive is to eliminate the WAN latency inherent in legacy storage solutions by moving to an edge-core design where the active data is held closest to the end users or compute farm."
 
Results were achieved during testing of a 32-node cluster of Avere FXT 3800 appliances using the SPECsfs2008 NFS benchmark, which showed the system achieved a record-setting combination of 1,592,334 ops/sec throughput and minimal latency of 1.24ms overall response time (ORT).
