The Oracle ZFS Storage ZS3-4 sets a new world record with aggregate throughput of 17,244.22 SPC-2 MBPS with SPC-2 Price Performance of $22.53. The SPC-2 benchmark consists of three application-oriented sequential I/O performance tests, which include large file processing, large database queries and video on demand.
The Oracle ZFS Storage ZS3-4 has 11% higher throughput and 5,8 times better price/performance than the IBM DS8870, which is IBM’s best SPC-2 Result.

The Oracle ZFS Storage ZS3-4 has 31% higher throughput and 3,9 times better price/performance than the HP P9500 XP Disk Array, which is HP’s best SPC-2 Result.

These world-record results demonstrate the performance and lower TCO possibilities that organisations using high-throughput business analytics and reporting can achieve with the new Oracle ZFS Storage ZS3 Series to realise realtime business advantage.

“Oracle ZS Series storage offers breakthrough streaming performance and value for high-throughput applications like data warehousing and business intelligence,” says Scott Tracy, VP Storage, Oracle.

“This SPC-2 result further demonstrates how the combination of a scalable storage operating system, high-throughput system design, and intelligent caching can lower the complexity and cost of storage for customers running data-intensive applications.”
