ALL RIGHTS RESERVED SPC performance report Silverton Consulting, Inc. StorInt™ Dispatch This Storage Intelligence (StorInt™) dispatch covers Storage Performance Council (SPC) results 1 . There have been four new SPC-1/1E and no new SPC-2 submissions since our report last May. The new SPC-1/1E results are for the DataCore Parallel Server & SANSymphony-V 10.0, IBM Storwize V5030 and Lenovo Storage S2200. The disk-only, IBM Storwize submission was run with Version 3 of the SPC-1 benchmark, so for now we are not including it in our other analysis. The other 3 new SPC-1 submissions were all AFAs. SPC-1 results We begin our discussion with top ten SPC-1 LRT™ (Least Response Time) results shown in Figure 1. Figure 1 Top 10 SPC-1 LRT results 1 All SPC results available from http://www.storageperformance.org/home/ as of 24Aug2016
