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?
Specific to the app, the amount of data, how many other hosts might be
in play, etc. etc. etc.
That said a 3510 with a raid controller is going to blow the door, drive
brackets, and skin off a JBOD in raw performance.
