"Upon the conclusion of our rigorous internal testing requirements, the Sun Storage F5100 Flash Array reduced our total database operation times by an average of 4X and power saving by up to 4X. The F5100 proved to be the best storage solution to date which addresses our need to save power while still providing the necessary capacity for our I/O intensive applications. The performance has allowed us to meet ever-shrinking deadlines for completion of jobs, due to the F5100's fast I/O response times. In addition, it improves the performance in our existing servers, allowing us to increase the client count and maintain our performance SLAs without adding additional server or disk hardware. The end results were the deployment of faster applications, smaller space footprint, and lower energy utilization which ultimately helped our bottom line and our green initiatives."

"The College of Oceanic and Atmospheric Sciences at Oregon State University had the opportunity to work with the Sun Storage F5100 Flash Array, and saw not only innovation in the product that Sun had engineered, but the potential to bridge a critical gap in the development of a solution that would help us deliver the next generation of research and education. COAS is investigating the delivery of real-time uncompressed streaming video - files that scale to over 3.5TB per hour - and in the trial the F5100 served exceptionally well as target for that video. 'We were excited by the potential that this product represents to the research community."
