10. © 2013 IBM Corporation 10 IBM Storwize family Real-time Compression database performance Storwize family Real-time Compression delivers up to 5x compression while maintaining or improving database transaction response time and Combine with flash for extraordinary business advantage The benchmark was performed using a Storwize V7000 system with 48 x 300GB SAS disks. 1.2TB database with 700 concurrent clients were used in the benchmark. The same test was performed with compressed volumes and non-compressed volumes. Stock Level Response Time in Seconds DeliveryOrder Status No Compression - 96 disks 1.144.857.468 0.8 1.2.4 Compressed – 48 disks.701.665.385.46.20.501 Compressed – 6 flash drives

11. © 2013 IBM Corporation 11 Real-time Compression Experiences Client comments –“It’s an exception to have a new piece of software work so well” –“This [beta test] was worth our time and we discovered that it really performs up to the marketing hype” Client compression achieved –VMware volumes: 76% –Oracle: as much as 90% –Lotus Domino: 70% Client performance experiences –Storwize V7000: Performance neutral –SVC: One client saw 2.5x better throughput with Real-time Compression for an Oracle workload
