Hi there Is it fair to compare the 2 solutions using Solaris 10 U2 and a commercial database (SAP SD scenario).
The cache on the HW raid helps, and the CPU load is less... but the solution costs more and you _might_ not need the performance of the HW RAID. Has anybody with access to these units done a benchmark comparing the performance (and with the pricelist in hand) came to a conclusion. It's not as such about maximum performance from both, but the price/performance. If a JBOD with ZFS does 500 IO's @ $10K vs a HW RAID 700 IO's @ $20K ... then the JBOD would be a good investment when $ is a factor. (example) Thank you.
