GOLDEN, CO--(Marketwired - Mar 10, 2014) - Demartek, an independent computer industry analyst firm with its own computer test lab, today announces that it has evaluated an end-to-end 16 Gb Fibre Channel solution with the HP BladeSystem c7000 and HP MSA 2040 storage system.
"Enterprises are often finding themselves constrained by the available bandwidth between the servers and storage, or they foresee a constraint as they observe their growing data consumption patterns," said Dennis Martin, Demartek President. "We deployed an end-to-end 16 Gb Fibre Channel (16GFC) server and storage system using HP BladeSystem and HP MSA storage and compared its performance to an 8 Gb Fibre Channel infrastructure. For highly virtualized environments and data intensive database applications, 8 Gb Fibre Channel infrastructure can saturate and become an I/O bottleneck."
