When to Sell, When Not to Sell UltraSCSI Host Adapter When to Sell • When storage requirements are less than 400 GB per system, and – When lowest cost is more important than maximum performance – When the application is not disk I/O intensive (web caching) – When the system is lightly loaded (greater than 50% CPU utilization) – When disk I/O is mostly random large block reads (image files) – Low-end cluster configuration using Sun StorEdge MultiPack systems When NOT to Sell • Customer wants hardware RAID • Heavy disk I/O activity • Greater than 400-GB storage capacity is required Sun StorEdge SRC/P Intelligent SCSI RAID Controller When to Sell • When storage requirements are less than 1 TB per system, and – When maximum disk I/O performance is required – When the customer wants “in-the-box” RAID for Sun Enterprise 250 or 450 servers – When clustering or dual-host access to storage is not required – When RAID 0, 1+0, 5, or 5+0 is required – When disk I/O is heavy, random, small block reads and writes – When system workload is light but expected to grow rapidly When NOT to Sell • Customer wants a cluster • Disk I/O is minimal or mostly large blocks • Storage requirement greater than 1 TB Sun StorEdge A1000 array When to Sell • When storage requirements are greater than 1 TB per system • When clustering with dual-host access to storage is required • When external disks are required and rackmounting or RAS are important When NOT to Sell • Customer wants “in-the-box” RAID • Single server environment • Lowest price/MB is important Just the Facts December 1999 Positioning
