Adaptec® 3210S vs. Mylex AcceleRAID 352

Overview This document provides an in-depth competitive benchmarking analysis between the Adaptec SCSI RAID 3210S and the Mylex AcceleRAID 352. Both are dual channel Ultra160 SCSI controllers, are similarly priced, and target the same server segment.

Measuring Performance - Intel IOmeter Controller performance was measured using Intel's IOmeter. IOmeter offers a number of standard test suites that simulate real-world applications. These test suites are characterized by I/O sizes and spatial distributions predefined by IOmeter to mimic the behavior of the specific application. The test suites included Online Transaction Processing (OLTP), file server, web server, and video server.

EMC urges users to ditch the back-up tapes

One of the new options is to buy a system with one Fibre Channel controller instead of two. But customers lose some performance, as well as the benefit that, if one controller failed, a second would be available to handle the work.

The Bloor Perspective: Voice over Palm, outsourcing in finance and DRM trailblazers

Those who approve the transactions seek a greater understanding of how success or otherwise should be measured. The Board or senior management charged with justifying or approving the transaction are more exacting in their scrutiny of the proposals.
