The DS8700 represents the latest in this series of enterprise disk storage systems designed for high-performance, high-capacity and resiliency. Major new capabilities include IBM POWER6 Processing technology and PCI-e I/O enclosures. IBM System Storage Easy Tier feature of the DS8700 enables more effective storage consolidation by taking the guesswork out of deploying solid-state drives by automatically and dynamically moving the appropriate data to the appropriate drive tier in the system, based on ongoing performance monitoring. Such effective storage tiering will help ensure systems are optimized for solid-state technology from both a performance and cost perspective.

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 using Mirroring configures two or more identical copies of user data. The SSD portion of the configuration utilized a Data Protection Level of RAID-5 which provides data protection by distributing check data corresponding to user data across multiple disks in the form of bit-by-bit parity.

20 DATA REPOSITORY Page 20 of 83 The Physical Storage Capacity consisted of 101, GB distributed over 96 disk drives each with a physical capacity of 1, GB and 16 solid state storage devices (SSDs) each with a physical capacity of 256 GB. There was GB (0.00%) of Unused Storage within the Physical Storage Capacity. Global Storage Overhead consisted of 11, GB (11.43%) of Physical Storage Capacity. There was GB (0.00%) of Unused Storage within the Configured Storage Capacity. The Total ASU Capacity utilized 88.83% of the Addressable Storage Capacity resulting in 4, GB (11.17%) of Unused Storage within the Addressable Storage Capacity. The Data Protection (mirroring) capacity was 38, GB of which 34, GB was utilized. The total Unused Storage was 9, GB. SPC-1 Storage Capacities and Relationships Illustration The various storage capacities configured in the benchmark result are illustrated below (not to scale). Application Storage Unit (ASU) Capacity 34, GB ASU 1 15, GB ASU 2 15, GB Addressable Storage Capacity 38, GB ASU 3 3, GB 36 Logical Volumes 36 Logical Volumes 8 Logical Volumes ( GB per Logical Volume) Overhead/Metadata GB Unused 4m284,856 GB Configured Storage Capacity 87, GB Data Protection (Mirroring) GB (includes GB of LVM Overhead and 4, GB of unused capacity) Required SSD Capacity 2, GB Spares 7, GB Unused 1, GB Global Storage Overhead 11, GB Physical Storage Capacity 100, GB Logical Volume Capacity and ASU Mapping Clause A table illustrating the capacity of each ASU and the mapping of Logical Volumes to ASUs shall be provided in the FDR.

Clause 2,8.1 Application Utilization is defined as Total ASU Capacity divided by Physical Storage Capacity. Clause 2,8.2 Protected Application Utilization is defined as (Total ASU Capacity plus total Data Protection Capacity minus unused Data Protection Capacity) divided by Physical Storage Capacity. Clause 2,8.3 Unused Storage Ratio is defined as Total Unused Capacity divided by Physical Storage Capacity and may not exceed 45%. SPC-1 Storage Capacity Utilization Application Utilization 34.11% Protected Application Utilization 68.24% Unused Storage Ratio 9.78%
22 SPC-1 BENCHMARK EXECUTION RESULTS Page 22 of 83 SPC-1 BENCHMARK EXECUTION RESULTS This portion of the Full Disclosure Report documents the results of the various SPC-1 Tests, Test Phases, and Test Runs. SPC-1 Test Execution Definitions on page 55 contains definitions of terms specific to the SPC-1 Tests, Test Phases, and Test Runs. Clause The Tests must be executed in the following sequence: Primary Metrics, Repeatability, and Data Persistence. That required sequence must be uninterrupted from the start of Primary Metrics to the completion of Persistence Test Run 1. Uninterrupted means the Benchmark Configuration shall not be power cycled, restarted, disturbed, altered, or adjusted during the above measurement sequence. If the required sequence is interrupted other than for the Host System/TSC power cycle between the two Persistence Test Runs, the measurement is invalid. SPC-1 Tests, Test Phases, and Test Runs The SPC-1 benchmark consists of the following Tests, Test Phases, and Test Runs: Primary Metrics Test Sustainability Test Phase and Test Run IOPS Test Phase and Test Run Response Time Ramp Test Phase o 95% of IOPS Test Run o 90% of IOPS Test Run o 80% of IOPS Test Run o 50% of IOPS Test Run o 10% of IOPS Test Run (LRT) Repeatability Test Repeatability Test Phase 1 o 10% of IOPS Test Run (LRT) o IOPS Test Run Repeatability Test Phase 2 o 10% of IOPS Test Run (LRT) o IOPS Test Run Data Persistence Test Data Persistence Test Run 1 Data Persistence Test Run 2 Each Test is an atomic unit that must be executed from start to finish before any other Test, Test Phase, or Test Run may be executed. The results from each Test, Test Phase, and Test Run are listed below along with a more detailed explanation of each component.
23 SPC-1 BENCHMARK EXECUTION RESULTS Page 23 of 83 PRIMARY METRICS TEST SUSTAINABILITY TESTPHASE Primary Metrics Test Sustainability Test Phase Clause The Sustainability Test Phase has exactly one Test Run and shall demonstrate the maximum sustainable I/O Request Throughput within at least a continuous three (3) hour Measurement Interval. This Test Phase also serves to insure that the TSC has reached Steady State prior to reporting the final maximum I/O Request Throughput result (SPC-1 IOPS ). Clause The computed I/O Request Throughput of the Sustainability Test must be within 5% of the reported SPC-1 IOPS result.

The IOPS Test Phase immediately follows the Sustainability Test Phase without any interruption or manual intervention. The IOPS Test Run generates the SPC-1 IOPS primary metric, which is computed as the I/O Request Throughput for the Measurement Interval of the IOPS Test Run. The Average Response Time is computed for the IOPS Test Run and cannot exceed 30 milliseconds. If the Average Response Time exceeds the 30 millisecond constraint, the measurement is invalid. Clause For the IOPS Test Phase the FDR shall contain: 1. I/O Request Throughput Distribution (data and graph). 2. A Response Time Frequency Distribution. 3. An Average Response Time Distribution. 4.

34 SPC-1 BENCHMARK EXECUTION RESULTS Page 34 of 83 PRIMARY METRICS TEST RESPONSE TIME RAMP TEST PHASE Primary Metrics Test Response Time Ramp Test Phase Clause The Response Time Ramp Test Phase consists of five Test Runs, one each at 95%, 90%, 80%, 50%, and 10% of the load point (100%) used to generate the SPC-1 IOPS primary metric. Each of the five Test Runs has a Measurement Interval of ten (10) minutes. The Response Time Ramp Test Phase immediately follows the IOPS Test Phase without any interruption or manual intervention. The five Response Time Ramp Test Runs, in conjunction with the IOPS Test Run (100%), demonstrate the relationship between Average Response Time and I/O Request Throughput for the Tested Storage Configuration (TSC) as illustrated in the response time/throughput curve on page 13. In addition, the Average Response Time measured during the 10% Test Run is the value for the SPC-1 LRT metric. That value represents the Average Response Time of a lightly loaded TSC. Clause The following content shall appear in the FDR for the Response Time Ramp Phase: 1. A Response Time Ramp Distribution. 2. The human readable Test Run Results File produced by the Workload Generator for each Test Run within the Response Time Ramp Test Phase. 3. For the 10% Load Level Test Run (SPC-1 LRT metric) an Average Response Time Distribution. 4. A listing or screen image of all input parameters supplied to the Workload Generator.
