Overview
This report documents ESG’s review of Hitachi Content Platform performance testing showing consistent, scalable performance critical for analytical workloads. Rigorous, industry-standard benchmarks were audited to evaluate Hitachi’s capabilities based on a real customer deployment with a focus on the following:
- Standard 32-node HCP system built on AWS EC2 with local NVMe drives and 100GbE networking that was shared with other workloads
- Cloud-native applications using the S3 API for a wide variety of use cases
- Mix of test workloads including 100% read, 100% write, and a blend of both. For each test, two object sizes were used in three configurations, 100% small (1KB), 100% large (64MB), and a mix of the two.
- Retrieving data from object storage using the GET (e.g., read) task, while transferring data to the object store using the PUT (e.g., write) task
- Time to first byte metrics were gathered in real time from the application
