Sun StorageTek 3510 Fibre Channel Array
The Sun StorageTek 3510 FC Array has always been an outstanding
product in its class with an
impressive enterprise-class feature set designed to allow easy modular
expansion and unrivaled
performance for entry level storage area networks (SANs). The Sun
StorageTek 3510 FC Array has
now demonstrated its world beating qualities, achieving a class leading
world record for
price/performance in the Storage Performance Council's Benchmark-1
(SPC-1). Sun's world
record result beat the closest competing price/performance submissions
from IBM and HP by
over 46% and 70% respectively.
Extreme Disk Utilization - Reducing Your Total
Cost of Ownership
 |
The Sun StorageTek 3510 FC Array is extremely
efficient in utilizing disk drive performance
owing to its advanced cache management
and disk de-staging algorithms. Just 36 disk
drives were used to achieve 323 IOPS/disk,
a higher disk/performance ratio than any
other result at the time of submission (1).
