Analyst Opinions on SPC Benchmark 1™ (SPC-1)
"Systems and storage are increasingly becoming independent purchasing decisions. ...the largest users who are making frequent disk decisions, ask us for apples-to-apples data to assess the performance of competing products. Furthermore, performance of enterprise storage subsystems can vary dramatically in network storage configurations. Until now this data was not available. The SPC plans to provide this data precisely and I believe that every serious storage vendor will eventually have to join to answer customers' requests. Those that do not are likely to hiding something."
- Jack Scott, Evaluator Group
"The storage market has for many years been in need of a standardized and audited industry performance metric. The SPC-1 storage benchmark is a major industry contribution for providers and buyers of storage networking technology."
- Ian Birks, Ideas International
"As a leading provider of comparative hardware data, we are very excited about the clearly applicable vendor-neutral comparison process the SPC-1 benchmark offers storage buyers. We are pleased to have been a part of the process of the establishment of this benchmark test."
- Chris Ober, Ideas International
