Built specifically for the most demanding enterprise-class workloads, Hitachi VSP all-flash configuration allows organizations to maximize the return on their investments in flash technology while accelerating application performance, maximizing server virtualization environments, and enabling high-speed private cloud deployments.

A Hitachi DS release said that the achievement represents yet another milestone in the HDS flash strategy and builds on the company's leadership in the space, further demonstrated by the recent release of Hitachi Accelerated Flash for the entry enterprise market with the Hitachi Unified Storage VM (HUS VM) all-flash system.

With 602,019.47 SPC IOPS in the SPC-1 result and as much as a 65 pc decrease in cost per SPC-1 IOPS from hard-drive-based systems, Hitachi VSP with flash acceleration and Hitachi Accelerated Flash storage bring customers the best performance available from an enterprise storage system - delivering the fastest response times at a better price-performance ratio than competitive systems. Under the SPC-1 methodology, the scalability of Hitachi VSP all-flash configuration was 33% higher than the IBM DS88702 with more than 3 times better performance per dollar.

The Hitachi VSP architecture demonstrated the scalability of true enterprise storage with response times between 7 and 18 times lower with varying loads than the midrange HP 3PAR StoreServ 10000 system.

"The SPC-1 result announced today further demonstrates our commitment to provide industry-leading flash-based technologies, as well as the superiority of the Hitachi VSP architecture and our system flash optimization engineering," said Asim Zaheer, senior vice president, worldwide marketing, Hitachi Data Systems. "More and more, customers are asking for application and server virtualization acceleration with less disruption to their environment and less risk. With Hitachi VSP, we can start customers down the path toward a private cloud with confidence, unified management and performance to spare."
