SPECstorage Solution 2020 — storage performance

Audited storage-solution throughput and response time across workload types.

Published SPECstorage Solution 2020 results from the Standard Performance Evaluation Corporation (www.spec.org). SPECstorage Solution 2020 measures storage-system performance under several real-world workloads (AI image, EDA, genomics, software build, video data acquisition). Each result reports the workload's business metric (the peak load sustained) and the overall response time, as published by SPEC, for one storage solution running one workload. Results are only comparable within the same workload — the workload is a column on each result. Each result links to its SPEC result page. SPEC® and SPECstorage® are trademarks of the Standard Performance Evaluation Corporation.

Metrics

  • business_metric — recorded on each measurement. The peak load the solution sustained for its workload (the SPECstorage business metric — job sets, builds, jobs, or streams depending on the workload), as published by SPEC. Higher is better; comparable only within the same workload (see the workload in the result details)
  • overall_response_time_ms (ms) — recorded on each measurement. Overall response time in milliseconds at the peak load, as published by SPEC. Lower is better
