Oracle ZS4-4 Storage Appliance Dominates High-bandwidth Processing

The SPC-2 benchmark is a useful benchmark for bandwidth intensive sequential workloads, such as backup, ETL (extraction, translate, load) and large-scale analytics. Wikibon conducted a deep comparative analysis of the SPC-2 results, time-adjusting the pricing information to correct for different publication dates. Wikibon then analysed performance and price-performance together, and developed a guide to enable practitioners to understand the business options and best strategic fit. Wikibon concluded the Oracle ZS4-4 storage appliance dominates this high-bandwidth processing since it has the best combination of good performance and great price performance at the high-end and mid-range of this market.
