14. SPC Performance Benchmarks
Industry Standard for Storage Performance measurement
SPC = Storage Performance Council
http://www.storageperformance.org/
SPC Benchmark 1 (SPC-1)
• Consists of a single workload designed to demonstrate the performance of a storage
subsystem while performing the typical functions of business critical applications.
• Applications are characterized by predominately random I/O operations and require both queries
as well as update operations. Simulated: database workload mix, 90% Random, 10%
Sequential; 60% Read, 40% Write; and 20% cache hit rate.
• Each SPC-1 result has been both audited and peer reviewed for compliance to ensure
consistency.
• An Executive Summary and Full Disclosure Report (FDR) for each SPC benchmark result
is available for download and review, including those for the Sun StorageTek 9990V:

29. Gartner’s View on the Next Big Thing….
Storage Virtualization
According to Gartner, “The Next Big Thing in high-end
enterprise storage arrays is array virtualization and partitioning, which will
enable matching of application requirements to storage resources. This
will improve security for individual applications and enhance
functionality.”
Gartner also firmly believes that the Role of Enterprise Storage is Changing.
“Disk array partitioning and virtualization will change the role of the disk
storage control unit. It will bring significant operational benefits to data
centers, such as enabling matching of application requirements to storage
resources and improving security for individual applications.”

43. Thin Provisioning (Dynamic Provisioning)
Improving storage utilization and reducing cost
Today...
• Increases in capacity often require an application service
interruption to re-configure the application or database to
recognize the increase.
• Customers typically purchase and install much more disk
storage than they initially need to avoid future service
interruptions.
• To avoid future service interruptions, it is common to
over-allocate storage by 75% or more.
The result: Low storage utilization,
unnecessary costs and expenditures
43
44. Dynamic Provisioning (Thin Provisioning) NEW
w/ 9990V
is the Solution & 9985V
With Dynamic Provisioning, customers will be able overallocate with less
physical capacity, then add to it transparently as needed, when needed…

& ST9985V
• Allows customers to allocate “virtual” disk capacity based on their anticipated
future needs, but with fewer physical disks installed.
• Additional physical disks can be purchased later and installed transparently
without an application service interruption.
• Benefits of Dynamic Provisioning include:

47. Analysts Agree
"Thin provisioning takes virtualization to the next
evolutionary step by linking space allocation to
write activity. The benefits of this evolutionary
enhancement are profound, and include
improved staff productivity, higher end-user
satisfaction rates, increased storage utilization
rates, more-accurate capacity forecasts, smaller
storage system environmental footprints and
lower costs."
