ST9990V SPC Performance ResultsIndustry Leading and Record Breaking Performance
October 1, 2007 News Release:
The ST9990V platform achieves the highest SPC-1 benchmark result in enterprise storage history, eclipsing results of every single enterprise storage system ever tested with 200,245 SPC IOPS.
This nearly doubles the performance levels achieved by competing enterprise storage systems with a single controller.
Leads industry with 3.5M peak cache IOPS. A 75% - 300% advantage over other enterprise systems in the market.

SPC Performance BenchmarksIndustry Standard for Storage Performance measurementSPC = Storage Performance Council
http://www.storageperformance.org/SPC Benchmark 1 (SPC-1)
• Consists of a single workload designed to demonstrate the performance of a storage subsystem while performing the typical functions of business critical applications.• Applications are characterized by predominately random I/O operations and require both queries
as well as update operations. Simulated: database workload mix, 90% Random, 10% Sequential; 60% Read, 40% Write; and 20% cache hit rate.
• Each SPC-1 result has been both audited and peer reviewed for compliance to ensure consistency.
• An Executive Summary and Full Disclosure Report (FDR) for each SPC benchmark result is available for download and review, including those for the Sun StorageTek 9990V:

Dynamic Provisioning(Thin Provisioning)
43
Thin Provisioning (Dynamic Provisioning)Improving storage utilization and reducing cost
• Increases in capacity often require an application service interruption to re-configure the application or database to recognize the increase.
• Customers typically purchase and install much more disk storage than they initially need to avoid future service interruptions.
• To avoid future service interruptions, it is common to over-allocate storage by 75% or more.
Today...
The result: Low storage utilization,unnecessary costs and expenditures
44
Dynamic Provisioning (Thin Provisioning) is the Solution

Dynamic Provisioning Benefits• Allows customers to allocate “virtual” disk capacity based on their anticipated
future needs, but with fewer physical disks installed. • Additional physical disks can be purchased later and installed transparently
without an application service interruption. • Benefits of Dynamic Provisioning include:
> Management cost reduction> Remove the guess work of capacity planning
> Physical capacity reduction> Less disk, lower TCO, higher storage utilization
> Elimination of application service interruptions> Add disk as needed and when needed, transparently
> Improved application performance> Stripe using all available spindles in DP pool
> Lower power, cooling, floorspace requirements> Fewer unused physical disks

Analysts Agree
"Thin provisioning takes virtualization to the next evolutionary step by linking space allocation to write activity. The benefits of this evolutionary enhancement are profound, and include improved staff productivity, higher end-user satisfaction rates, increased storage utilization rates, more-accurate capacity forecasts, smaller storage system environmental footprints and lower costs."
