IBM-SPC Benchmarking
IBM-SPC Benchmarking
SPC-1 IOPS™ represents the maximum I/O Request Throughput at the 100% load point.
Total ASU (Application Storage Unit) Capacity represents the total storage capacity read and written in
the course of executing the SPC-1 benchmark.
A Data Protection Level of Protected (Mirroring) configures two or more identical copies of user data.
Application Utilization: Total ASU Capacity (1,527.100 GB) divided by Physical Storage Capacity
(3,600.000 GB)
Protected Application Utilization: Total ASU Capacity (1,527.100 GB) plus total Data Protection
Capacity (1,795.511 GB) minus unused Data Protection Capacity (214.963 GB) divided by Physical
Storage Capacity (3,600.000 GB)
Unused Storage Ratio: Total Unused Capacity (515.587 GB) divided by Physical Storage Capacity
(3,600.000 GB) and may not exceed 45%.

SPC-1 IOPS™ represents the maximum I/O Request Throughput at the 100% load point.
SPC-1 Price-Performance™ is the ratio of Total Price to SPC-1 IOPS™.
Total ASU (Application Storage Unit) Capacity represents the total storage capacity available to be read
and written in the course of executing the SPC-1 benchmark.
A Data Protection Level of Protected 2 using Mirroring configures two or more identical copies of user
data..
Protected 1: The single point of failure of any storage device in the configuration will not result in
permanent loss of access to or integrity of the SPC-1 Data Repository.
Total Price includes the cost of the Priced Storage Configuration plus three years of hardware
maintenance and software support as detailed on page 8.
Currency Used is formal name for the currency used in calculating the Total Price and SPC-1 Price-
Performance™. That currency may be the local currency of the Target Country or the currency of a
difference country (non-local currency).
Application Utilization: Total ASU Capacity (10,307.922 GB) divided by Physical Storage Capacity
(36,000.000 GB).
Protected Application Utilization: (Total ASU Capacity (10,307.922 GB) plus total Data Protection
Capacity (17,970.522 GB) minus unused Data Protection Capacity (7,636.495 GB)) divided by Physical
Storage Capacity (36,000.000 GB).
Unused Storage Ratio: Total Unused Capacity (15,272.990 GB) divided by Physical Storage Capacity
(36,000.000 GB) and may not exceed 45%.
SPC-1 IOPS™ represents the maximum I/O Request Throughput at the 100% load point.
SPC-1 Price-Performance™ is the ratio of Total Price to SPC-1 IOPS™.
Total ASU (Application Storage Unit) Capacity represents the total storage capacity available to
be read and written in the course of executing the SPC-1 benchmark.
A Data Protection Level of Protected 1 using RAID-5, which distributes check data
corresponding to user data across multiple disks in the form of bit-by-bit parity.
Protected 2: The single point of failure of any storage device in the configurationwill not result
in permanent loss of access to or integrity of the SPC-1 DataRepository.
Total Price includes the cost of the Priced Storage Configuration plus three years of
hardware maintenance and software support as detailed on page 8.
Currency Used is formal name for the currency used in calculating the Total Price and
SPC-1 Price-Performance™. That currency may be the local currency of the Target
Country or the currency of a difference country (non-local currency).
