Santa clara, Itech- Hitachi Data Systems Corporation (HDS), a wholly owned subsidiary of Hitachi, Ltd today announced that Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform G1000 with Hitachi Accelerated Flash achieved an SPC-1 Result that dramatically exceeded any prior submission of the real-world emulating SPC-1 benchmark – piercing the two million SPC-1 IOPS ceiling for the first time, while maintaining sub-millisecond latency.
Given the abundance of often unsubstantiated vendor claims regarding storage-performance, Hitachi is proud to provide audited, third-party performance results so customers can better plan, build and manage high-performance environments. SPC-1 performance testing is designed to demonstrate a system’s performance capabilities for workloads such as business critical applications and OLTP environments.
Achieving an SPC-1 Result of 2,004,941.89 SPC-1 IOPS™[1], an all-flash VSP G1000 leapt to the front of the performance pack with more than 60 percent greater throughput and one-third the full-load response time of even specialized, niche DRAM-based systems. Against typical enterprise competition, not only was the system significantly faster, but it was the first enterprise storage system to achieve SPC-1 Price-Performance of US$1.00/SPC-1 IOPS™.
To better understand the VSP G1000 hardware and Hitachi Storage Virtualization Operating System (SVOS) functional capabilities, other third-party assessments are necessary. Gartner provides such analysis within its Critical Capabilities for General-Purpose, High-End Storage Arrays . For the second year in a row, Hitachi VSP technology tied for the highest overall product score for every analyzed use-case, including overall, consolidation, OLTP, server virtualization and VDI, analytics and cloud. Hitachi Data Systems has also been placed as a leader in Gartner’s Magic Quadrant for General-Purpose Disk Arrays, 2014 report .
“This latest SPC-1 Result further demonstrates our commitment to provide industry-leading flash-based technologies, as well as the superiority of the Hitachi VSP G1000 architecture and our SVOS flash optimization engineering,” said Sean Moser, senior vice president, global portfolio and product management at Hitachi Data Systems. “More and more, customers are asking for application and server virtualization acceleration with less disruption and risk to their environment. With Hitachi VSP G1000, we can start customers down the path toward a private cloud with confidence, unified management and performance to spare.” (*)
