The SPC is a vendor-neutral, industry standards body focused on the storage industry.
The SPC serves as a catalyst for performance improvement in storage products. In support of that goal, the SPC has developed a complete portfolio of industry-standard storage benchmarks. The comprehensive SPC benchmark portfolio utilizes I/O workloads that represent the "real world" storage performance behavior of both OLTP (online transaction processing) and sequential applications.
The SPC benchmark portfolio provides a rigorous, audited and reliable means to produce comparative storage performance, price-performance and energy use data, which is used to develop and evaluate storage products, which range from individual components to complex, distributed storage configurations.
