Fujitsu ETERNUS4000 Storage System Sets New World Record in Storage Performance

Storage Performance Council Delivers Unbiased Measurement of Storage Solutions

Manila, Philippines, December 22, 2006 — Fujitsu Philippines, Inc. today announced that the ETERNUS®4000 Model 500 storage system achieved the top position with the Storage Performance Council (SPC) in two benchmarks for mid-range disk array performance. The benchmark results, listed on the SPC website at www.storageperformance.org, attest to the Fujitsu-wide commitment to delivering greater value to customers.

The Fujitsu ETERNUS4000 announced earlier this year is the first storage system from a global vendor to include encryption native to the drive. ETERNUS4000 is also known for its innovative energy-efficient MAID technology and an active-active controller architecture ensuring continuous access to data for better system performance.

The Storage Performance Council (SPC), a vendor-neutral standards body, has created the first industry-standard performance benchmark targeted at the needs and concerns of the storage industry. From component-level evaluation to the measurement of complete distributed storage systems, SPC benchmarks provide a rigorous, audited and reliable measure of performance.

The SPC-1 benchmark consists of a single workload designed to demonstrate the performance of a storage subsystem while performing typical business critical functions characterized by predominately random I/O operations such as those required for OLTP, database operations, and mail server implementations. The ETERNUS4000 Model 500 achieved the best score in the mid-range category with 60,003.51 SPC-1 IOPS™ (the maximum I/O Request Throughput at the 100 percent load point) for a $6.54/SPC-1 IOPS price performance representing a more than 190 percent IOPS to dollars improvement over the ETERNUS 3000 equivalent model.

The SPC-2 benchmark consists of three distinct workloads designed to demonstrate the performance of a storage subsystem during the execution of business critical applications that require the large-size, sequential movement of data, such as large file processing (e.g., scientific computing and large-scale financial processing), large database queries (e.g., data mining and business intelligence), and video streaming. The ETERNUS4000 Model 500 achieved the best score in the mid-range category with 1, 985.63 SPC-2 MBPS™ (which represents the aggregate data rate of all three SPC-2 workloads) for a $114.72/SPC-2 MBPS price performance.

“The Storage Performance Council benchmarks validate what our customers already know—Fujitsu is committed to delivering the highest-performance-per-dollar solutions available in the industry today,” said Peter Tan, FPI president and CEO. “With the broad range of Fujitsu solutions, from servers, to storage, to software and services and more, our loyal customers come back to Fujitsu for unmatched quality, value, and customer service.”
