Sun Storage 7410 in evaluation at OpenSRS

Monday, February 2. 2009

Rick Yazwinski of OpenSRS/Tucows wrote an interesting piece about the Sun Storage 7410 - "Testing Sun’s Open Storage Platform" a while ago:

We start with Bonnie++, a tried and true disk subsystem benchmark suite. It’s interesting to note here that the Toro (Sun 7410) was very comparable to a Netapp 3040 in performance and beat the 3040 in many of the tests.

and

I’ll close with a reiteration of my opening: I’m really impressed with this platform. Sun’s done an amazing job, and the Open Storage platform is going to shake the (largely ridiculously overpriced) enterprise storage market to its core. Keep up the great work!

Hi,
I really want to see some industrial standard workload against one of these beasts.

AFAIK, there are none.

Why don't you show us how does it perform with a real workload, such as SPC?

Those bonnie runs means nothing...

Thanks

SPC is crap - its old and worthless ... if we can support more than 1-2G of cache now days and the SPC spec is designed to cache bust whats the point. If i remember right on the 7410c you can do upwards of 128GB of DRAM and 1.2TB of SSD. Why test the disk speed if you can keep the workload in DRAM and SSD? If you you want to test disk IO then use SPC - but your using old technology.

SSD, Lots of DRAM and only having to use disk for storage is the new future. Its better at real world - i dont know how you think that SPC is even a good standard. Besides - do you know in order to publish the SPC number they dont have to list price and config? 2000 drives and a few MM I am sure even a MS file server would do well ..

Dont buck it - SSD is here to stay -
