Tuesday, January 19, 2021

By integrating SSD cache, CS offers great CP value (compared to all-flash array) and overcomes the common problem of large-scale all-HDD NAS, i.e., latency due to high data seek time and reduced overall system performance for random data access and file operations.

Key Points: 
  • By integrating SSD cache, CS offers great CP value (compared to all-flash array) and overcomes the common problem of large-scale all-HDD NAS, i.e., latency due to high data seek time and reduced overall system performance for random data access and file operations.
  • CS stores frequently used random access data and file metadata in SSD cache to improve performance, ensuring that workflow and media access are not interrupted by I/O latency.
  • Thanks to SSDs' near-zero seek time advantage, SSD cache can improve the random data access performance dramatically.

Inspur’s Storage System Ranks Top Two in the SPC Benchmark 1™ Performance Test

Retrieved on: 
Wednesday, April 1, 2020

As the organization's most actively tested program, the SPC Benchmark 1 is designed to assess the performance of storage systems that handle complex requests and large volumes of data.

Key Points: 
  • As the organization's most actively tested program, the SPC Benchmark 1 is designed to assess the performance of storage systems that handle complex requests and large volumes of data.
  • The test index involves the stress testing of eight data access scenarios, such as the read-write response time sensitivity of the storage system, workload diversity and dynamic changes, system performance, and long-term stability.
  • A total of 11 SPC-1 performance results from seven global storage providers have been published since January 2019.
  • The overall performance of the system reached 7.52 million IOPS, while its single-controller performance reached 470,000 IOPS, and its priced at $386.50/SPC-1 KIOPSTM.
