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)
ISTM the cheapest array is the best for zfs. If not, isn't any benchmark
going to be specific to your application?
