SPC-1 Test Results of Huawei Symantec Oceanspace T-Series

This is a Press Release edited by StorageNewsletter.com on Thu, October 13th, 2011

$3.08 per SPC-1 IOPS for Oceanspace S6800T, $2.73 for S5600T

Huawei Symantec Technologies Co. Ltd. (Huawei Symantec) announced that its Oceanspace T-series reported SPC Benchmark 1 (SPC-1) performance, as defined by the Storage Performance Council, a vendor-neutral standards body focused on the storage industry.

The SPC provides a source of comparative storage performance information that is objective, relevant, and verifiable. 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. Those applications are characterized by predominately random I/O operations and require both queries as well as update operations. Examples of those types of applications include OLTP, database operations, and mail server implementations.

The Oceanspace S6800T reported 150,061.17 SPC IOPS and a SPC-1 Price-Performance of $3.08 per SPC-1 IOPS. In addition to demonstrating performance with its SPC-1 Result, the Oceanspace S6800T also employs a modular design, supports hot swap, automatic failover, and load balancing, which guarantees performance and reliability.

As a midrange SAN product, Oceanspace S5600T reported 102,471.66 SPC IOPS with a SPC-1 Price-Performance of $2.73 per SPC-1 IOPS.

The SPC-1 Price-Performance reported for the Oceanspace S6800T and S5600T make both Huawei Symantec solutions platforms for enterprises that engage in online transactions, database operations, and mail server implementations.

"The Huawei Symantec Oceanspace T-series is one of our flagship storage series, and it enables higher productivity, better efficiency, and a lower TCO," said Mr. Fan Ruiqi, president of Huawei Symantec storage product line. "In addition to boasting advanced storage features such as high density, it also offers industry-leading enhanced data protection, using approaches such as snapshot and synchronous mirroring. The SPC-1 performance of the S5000T series is an affirmation of the R&D investment that Huawei Symantec has made across its entire product line."

NavigateStorage and Huawei are partners

The channel program will authorize U.S. Huawei partners to sell Huawei's Ethernet switches, routers and video telepresence products. Huawei's overall product portfolio goes far further and wider, but Huawei representatives told CRN it will be those three product lines for now.

Consider those initial offerings "phase one" of the program, Lu said.
Huawei will work with VARs and systems integrators in a traditionally-structured channel program that offers better rewards for more commitment to Huawei. A dedicated Huawei sales team, which Lu called "high-touch," will assist Huawei's partners.
