Benchmark comparison shown:
- Hitachi VSP 5600 running ORION 8KB RR – No ADR. Full configuration available in Hitachi reports.
- DellPowerMax 8500 running VDBench unspecified block size w/2:1 & dedupe. Principled Technologies report lacks PowerMax node count, cache size and other specifics tested.
- Hitachi VSP E1090 & VSP E790 using ORION 8KB RR – No ADR. Full configuration available in reports.
- Dell PowerMax 8500 running VDBench unspecified block size w/2:1 & dedupe. PT report lacks node count and cache size tested.
- Dell documents claim their ADR implementation “provides negligible performance impact.”
- Principled Technology states “ We ran the test to achieve maximum performance, collecting IOPS and latency data from both storage solutions.”
