HP 3PAR P10000 V800 Storage System set a worldwide OLTP (online transaction processing) performance record, based on the Storage Performance Council's SPC-1 benchmark. This world-record performance for tier 1 enterprise, virtualisation and cloud data centre environments will enable clients to consolidate their virtualised IT infrastructure on a massive scale.

“Raising the bar for agile, efficient storage for IT as a service has been our focus since HP acquired 3PAR a year ago,” said David Scott, senior vice-president and general manager, Storage, HP.

“Continuing to deliver world-record beating performance that surpasses 3PAR customer expectations is not only our goal, but a formula for fuelling ongoing revenue growth.”

Tier 1 record-shattering performance

Launched in August, HP P10000 3PAR Storage Systems offer powerful features for the delivery of tier 1 enterprise IT within public and private clouds, called IT as a service. These features include multi-tenancy for unpredictable workload consolidation, expanded thin technologies for efficient capacity utilisation and autonomic load rebalancing to drive enterprise agility.

SPC-1 results are real-world OLTP audited measurements that provide clients with a source of comparative storage performance information that is objective, relevant and verifiable. The independently audited HP 3PAR V800 SPC-1 result delivered the fastest SPC-1 performance ever published by the Storage Performance Council. (2)

Configured with a capacity equivalent of thousands of virtual machines, the standard commercially shipping version of the HP 3PAR V800 achieved 450 212.66 SPC-1 IOP/s - the highest performance by any single system and a 100% faster performance than the previous fastest HP 3PAR SPC-1 Result. (3)
