ExaStore Sets New Industry Standard for Storage

By DE Editors

ExaNews from Exanet (Jersey City, NJ) reports that “ExaStore Breaks All Speed Records.” Exanet says they have independent confirmation from the Enterprise Strategy Group (Milford, MA) that they have succeeded in being the fastest system on the market: ExaStore has established 119,550 operations per second with an overall response time of 2.07 milliseconds as the new industry standard.

The new world-record performance level for the SPECsfs2008_nfs.v3 benchmark is more than six times the prior record, reports Exanet. (System File Server (SPECsfs2008_nfs.v3) test for NAS server performance.)

As resources are added, this performance scales linearly, meaning that ExaStore delivers “excellent levels of cost-optimized performance as you add servers.”  ExaStore architecture has been designed to be scalable, available, and fast to support fast access to huge files, Web 2.0 applications, and the delivery of multimedia VOD to millions of customers.

Performance achieved in accordance with the Standard Performance Evaluation Corporation Consortium of the Standard Performance Evaluation Corporation (SPEC); for full benchmark disclosure results, visit SPEC. For the latest SPECsfs2008 benchmark results, visit SPEC.
