Hitachi Data Systems (HDS) says its Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform (VSP) all-flash configuration achieved the highest Storage Performance Council (SPC-1) result for an external enterprise storage system.
Under the SPC-1 methodology, the scalability of Hitachi VSP all-flash configuration was 33 percent higher than the IBM DS88702 with more than 3 times better performance per dollar.
The Hitachi VSP architecture showed response times between 7 and 18 times lower with varying loads than the midrange HP 3PAR StoreServ 10000 system.
“SPC-1 result demonstrates the superiority of the Hitachi VSP architecture and our system flash optimization engineering,” said Asim Zaheer, senior vice president, worldwide marketing, Hitachi Data Systems.
Hitachi VSP all-flash configuration allows organizations to maximize the return on their investments in flash technology while accelerating application performance, maximizing server virtualization environments, and enabling high-speed private cloud deployments.
With a 602,019.47 SPC IOPS in the SPC-1 result and 65 percent decrease in cost per SPC-1 IOPS from hard-drive-based systems, Hitachi VSP with flash acceleration and Hitachi Accelerated Flash storage bring customers the best performance available from an enterprise storage system.
