Oracle's Sun ZFS Storage 7420 appliance has beaten IBM's current highest SPC-2 result, based on SPC-2 throughput performance. The Sun ZFS Storage 7420 appliance delivered 10,703.69 SPC-2 MBPS and SPC-2 Price-Performance of $35.24. The 7420 turned in results that were:

• 43 percent higher throughput than the IBM XIV at 7,467.99 SPC-2 MBPS.
• 242 percent higher throughput than the IBM V7000 at 3,132.87 SPC-2 MBPS.
• 10 percent higher throughput than the IBM DS8800 at 9,705.74 SPC-2 MBPS.

The Sun ZFS Storage Appliance’s SPC-2 Price-Performance was:

• 4.3x better price-performance than the IBM XIV at $152.34.
• Over 2x better price-performance than the IBM V7000 at $71.32.
• 7.7x better price-performance than the IBM DS8800 at $270.38.

The SPC-2 benchmark consists of three distinct workloads: large file processing, large database queries and video on demand, designed to demonstrate the performance of a storage subsystem during the execution of business critical applications that require the large-scale, sequential movement of data.
