Full Story:
Dell EMC today announced that ScaleIO—the company’s
hyper-converged software-defined storage offering—has been awarded
StorageReview’s first-ever Editor’s Choice award. Intended for the
most leading-edge products, the Editor’s Choice award is a rare
honor, and one that ScaleIO earned over several months of intensive
testing in the StorageReview lab.
“We were blown away with the Dell EMC ScaleIO solution
throughout the review process,” said Brian Beeler, editor-in-chief
of StorageReview. “Dell EMC ScaleIO is far and away the most
impressive storage solution that we've not only seen this year, but
probably ever. The performance, flexibility and reliability of
ScaleIO is nothing short of astounding. Over the course of several
months, it also made us rethink the way we acknowledge such
superior performance. At the conclusion of this phase of the
review, we decided to launch a StorageReview Editor's Choice
award that will be judiciously granted for only the
best-of-the-best products we see.”
“ScaleIO comes down to two words: flexibility and performance,”
said Josh Goldstein, VP of product management and marketing for
ScaleIO. “The product is architected to be outstanding for block
storage at web scale, combining the best of software-defined
storage with hyper-convergence to create a lightning-fast solution
with a multitude of configurations. We’re delivering simplicity and
never-before-seen results while enabling customers to minimize
costs—the brass ring for enterprise IT organizations today.”
Notable StorageReview results for ScaleIO:
- On Sysbench OLTP testing with MySQL:
- Scales beyond traditional storage
arrays, with throughput and latency significantly better plus the
ability to use near 100% of capacity
- “The performance was excellent, easily
proving once again that ScaleIO is the leading software-defined solution on the market in
terms of performance and flexibility.”
- On SQL Server testing:
- Provides superior resource efficiency
while performing much faster than other hyper-converged platforms
and slightly edging out FC-connected all-flash storage
- “For customers demanding the highest
performing hyper-converged storage solution for SQL Server, ScaleIO
just upped the bar again by being the most
efficient HCI solution we've ever tested.”
- On virtualized workload testing with
VMmark:
- Delivers record-smashing performance
with sub-millisecond latency, with only 14% CPU utilization at max
scale
- “The most impressive feat though was
how well ScaleIO in HCI did, demonstrating how little impact the storage overhead has on the
platform.”
- On HCI testing with HCIbench:
- Triples the performance of other
hyper-converged platforms, while testing with a significantly
larger footprint
- “…[ScaleIO is] able to offer
incredible bandwidth – supporting even
the most demanding workloads.”
Availability:
ScaleIO is available in three consumption choices – ScaleIO
