E8 Storage HA NVMe Solutions Achieved Record SPEC SFS 2014 Performance Standards

E8 Storage Systems Ltd. announced that the company’s performance, HA shared NVMe storage solutions have achieved record SPEC SFS 2014 performance standards.

Without requiring special performance tuning, E8 Storage beat all other previously published SPEC SFS test results using a single E8-D24 appliance with Western Digital Corp.‘s NVMe SSDs in combination with IBM Spectrum Scale 5.0.

Looking deeper into the test results, the firm delivered the only sub-millisecond overall response time at 0.69ms ORT. In addition, the solutions demonstrated higher IO/s and throughput than all other previous SPEC SFS2014_swbuild results. These independently validated results reinforce the company’s commitment to deliver performance, low latency storage and simplified storage management without compromising on reliability, availability or scalability.
