With an astounding 602,019.47 SPC IOPS™ in the SPC-1 result and as much as a 65% decrease in cost per SPC-1 IOPS from hard-drive-based systems1, Hitachi VSP with flash acceleration and Hitachi Accelerated Flash storage bring customers the best performance available from an enterprise storage system – delivering the fastest response times at a better price-performance ratio than competitive systems. Under the SPC-1 methodology, the scalability of Hitachi VSP all-flash configuration was 33% higher than the IBM® DS88702 with more than 3 times better performance per dollar. The Hitachi VSP architecture demonstrated the scalability of true enterprise storage with response times between 7 and 18 times lower with varying loads than the midrange HP 3PAR StoreServ 10000 system.
“The SPC-1 result announced today further demonstrates our commitment to provide industry-leading flash-based technologies, as well as the superiority of the Hitachi VSP architecture and our system flash optimisation engineering,” said Asim Zaheer, senior vice president, worldwide marketing, Hitachi Data Systems. “More and more, customers are asking for application and server virtualisation acceleration with less disruption to their environment and less risk. With Hitachi VSP, we can start customers down the path toward a private cloud with confidence, unified management and performance to spare.”
