Is this correct? Will there be much interest in the SPARCstorage Array with performance numbers like that? If Sun UK's I/O number is correct, is a design fix underway yet? I don't know what our own performance numbers are with Sun systems, offhand, but I would imagine they are similar to those of the RS/6000 where our storage platforms are providing database users with approximately 22 MBytes/sec aggregrate performance (adding up the channels). (I can look up the Sun/RAID 7 I/O numbers.) Maybe that 3.28 MByte/sec. calculation Sun UK did was wrong, or something was left out of the description. (Normally Sun designs and builds outstanding products, IMHO.)
