I know!
I got this from a guy here and I'm just reading now the data. I share with others that didn't know it
http://www.storageperformance.org/results/benchmark_results_all
There's some that can help. As others I expect some about FAS6xxx series.
Regards

I wish this would come from somewhere inside Netapp R&D Performance Matrix Dept
Hey, but don't worry. We are here to help out if you are not getting right numbers, you know......

And last, since years and years there's always been "secrets" and "nda" on detailed tech specs of computers, appliances or, generally, IT relatad hardware!...
Could this be the proof that IT is not science? J
After all when I compare two cars I can have exact data from the two vendors... ;-)

Performance is not something which cannot be compared vis-a-vis with other platform/hardware.....
In real life there could be so many variables ........
OnTAP tuning and hardwares can play the role
Switching, paths , routing.....can play the role
then finally your front end Server Platform, hardware and application can play the role......
All these are very tightly related.....

You could look at specfs numbers (there's an organization that publishes this), and you can get the docs you've already seen from your sales team. It's not something that is typically given to customers. Check with your sales team (Channel perhaps?).

Hi all
Long times ago I was able to obtain from some NetApp guys documentation that regarded detailed tech specs of filer appliances with data on performances such us iops, throughput and so on with also comparison between models both from NetApp and competitor too. The data regarded NAS ans SAN (iSCSI and FCP) aspects.
Do you know if there are available docs on new filers?
Sometime it happens that customers ask us for comparison charts (i.e. now we could need data for IBM DS8000 storage and FAS3xxx and/or 6xxx filers regarding SAN FCP performances)
regards
