Abstract

First in its class - The DS5300

Body

Over at The Register, Chris Mellor has an article titled[The IBM DS5000: Best in a field of one], discussing how the IBM System Storage DS5300 is in a class by itself.

IBM hired independent analyst Enterprise Strategy Group[ESG] to validate the box, and run workload-specific benchmarks. I agreewith Chris, the results are impressive! The report includes results from Microsoft Exchange JetStresstool to provide insight into email performance, and another benchmark to simulate Web server IOPS.

Also, the published SPC-1 benchmark for the DS5300 puts it at about 29 percent improvement over the DS4800.Chris argues the DS5300 is similar in class to NetApp FAS3170, which IBM sells as the IBM System Storage N6070.

If you are interesting in either the DS5300 or N6070, contact your local IBM Business Partner or sales rep.
