Test Overview Fusion-‐io ioControl n5 Hybrid Storage Architecture
Ê Fusion-‐io commissioned Tolly to evaluate the performance of its ioControl Hybrid storage approach against a similarly-‐equipped conventional NVRAM+SSD+Disk hybrid solution.
Ê Tolly found the Fusion-‐io solution to offer high performance and scalability. In block level access tests, Fusion-‐io provided up to 700% better performance than the conventional NVRAM+SSD+Disk solution under test.

Summary
www.tolly.com
The Fusion ioControl n5 Hybrid Storage Architecture:
Ê Provides, on average, 160% higher virtual machine (VM) density, with 60% less latency than conventional arrays
Ê Delivers, on average, 740% more 64K random read IOPS and 53% more 64K random write IOPS
Ê Leverages “Active/Active” PCIe flash architecture to provide high bandwidth to applications
Ê Provides in excess of 1500MBps of read throughput to I/O-‐intensive activities such as virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) “boot storms”
