dataON™ Performance Testing

Increasing the I/O performance of next-generation data centers and cloud computing environments is essential for supporting enterprise e-commerce, database, and email applications. STEC's ZeusRAM™ and ZeusIOPS® SSDs offer performance and total cost of solution benefits to address these needs.

To prove this point, dataON™ Storage conducted a host of performance tests when ZeusRAM and ZeusIOPS SSDs are used as Write and Read caches, versus similar storage systems that do not use STEC SSDs. As part of the testing process, dataON used the industry-standard IOMeter workload performance test configured to run the SSDs under different real-world workloads including a workstation application (emulating a Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) deployment), a file server application and an online transaction processing (OLTP) database application, all running on a NexentaStor-enabled dataON storage system.

The results demonstrated the following:

• Up to 5x improvement in transactions per second in an MS Exchange application environment
• Up to 2x improvement in application response time in an MS Exchange application environment
• Up to 15x the number of users supported in an MS Exchange application environment
• Up to 5x improvement in performance in workstation (VDI) workloads
• Up to 8x improvement in OLTP database workloads

The entire dataON Storage performance criteria, testing and results are highlighted in a whitepaper entitled, “Increase Storage Performance up to 5x using STEC ZeusRAM and ZeusIOPS SSDs as Accelerated Write Log and Read Cache.”
