STEC's Solid State Drives Improve Performance, Capacity and Energy Efficiency With HP Storage Array
December 08 2010 - 9:25AM
STEC, Inc. (Nasdaq:STEC) today announced that its high capacity
enterprise-class ZeusIOPS Solid State Drives (SSDs) have been
qualified for integration into the HP StorageWorks Enterprise
Virtual Array platform. STEC's ZeusIOPS drives offer an optimized
storage capacity solution that provides improved performance and
faster response times, increasing the advantages of storage
virtualization.
The incorporation of STEC's ZeusIOPS 200GB and 400GB Fibre
Channel (FC) SSDs into the HP Enterprise Virtual Array storage
systems is supported by HP management software suite including HP
StorageWorks Command View EVA and HP StorageWorks Business Copy EVA
Software. The software coupled with STEC's SSDs reduces the
complexity of virtual array storage solutions and increases the
overall performance capabilities for environments that require low
response times and high random IO transactions, such as OLTP and
Database applications.
The use of SSDs results in improved response time performance of
40 percent in INDEX applications, and also exhibits an increase in
throughput and decrease in latency in SQL Server environments.
"We have developed an optimized solution for customers like HP
to enable them to realize the potential of virtualized storage,"
said Manouch Moshayedi, chairman and chief executive officer of
STEC. "We are continuously leveraging our extensive SSD expertise
to support and innovate with our partners in delivering an
expanding array of industry-leading enterprise solid state storage
solutions."
"Clients require easy-to-manage storage solutions that enhance
operations and drive productivity," said Tom Joyce, vice president,
marketing, StorageWorks, HP. "The HP StorageWorks Enterprise
Virtual Array with STEC SSD capabilities delivers high performance,
high capacity and ease-of-use to maximize storage utilization in
virtual environments."
The ZeusIOPS SSD product family offers a comprehensive array of
options for enterprise system architects, including a wide range of
interface options, from Fibre Channel to SAS, and a broad range of
capacity options, spanning from 73GB to 800GB. Fundamental to the
ZeusIOPS product family is the proprietary STEC SSD architecture,
which enables STEC to provide an enterprise-optimized storage
device with an unprecedented combination of performance and energy
efficiency.
