Record-Breaking Benchmarks
For the greatest value in a full-featured disk system, the Sun StorageTek 2540 array gives customers much lower cost without compromising performance. Using the leading technology available in Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) disk drives, the StorageTek 2540 dramatically lowers the cost of highly available FC SAN storage.
The Sun StorageTek 2540 array established a record benchmark for a mirrored disk array:
| - The best Price/Performance mark to date SPC-2 Price-Performance: $46.26/SPC-2 MBPS |
| - Excellent performance SPC-2 Performance: 730.04 MBPS |
SPC-2 consists of three distinct workloads designed to demonstrate the performance of a storage subsystem during the execution of business critical applications that require the large-scale, sequential movement of data.

The Storage Performance Council (SPC) is a non-profit corporation founded to define, standardize, and promote storage subsystem benchmarks as well as to disseminate objective, verifiable performance data to the computer industry and its customers. SPC members include most of the storage industry as well as universities and industry analysts. SPC tests require the submission of a Full Disclosure Report (FDR). The FDR contains detailed information on every aspect of the system being tested. All test parameters must be revealed. The information enables everyone to see exactly how the system was setup. It enables anyone to setup the identical configuration and know exactly what the performance will be. The FDR is audited by the SPC and is publicly available on their website.
