In tests performed in October, Fujitsu achieved the new world record on SPC Benchmark-2™ with the ETERNUS4000 Model 500 storage system. The SPC Benchmark-2 is the Storage Performance Council’s latest industry storage benchmark. The Storage Performance Council (SPC) is a nonprofit institute in which major storage vendors participate, dedicated to the evaluation of storage system performance.


SPC Benchmark-2 is designed to show the aggregate performance of the storage subsystems for large-sized, sequential data access environments, and consist of three distinct profiles:

  • Large file processing
  • Large database queries
  • Video on Demand.
