13 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Page 13 of 110 Tested Storage Product (TSP) Description The IS5600 storage system meets both demanding performance and capacity requirements of science and technology, simulation modeling, and decision support in the most efficient footprint with extreme simplicity, reliability, and scalability. This next generation storage system is unsurpassed at supporting high-performance file systems and bandwidthintensive applications in the most efficient footprint. And its fully redundant I/O paths, advanced protection features, and proactive support monitoring and services provide the highest levels (99.999%) of availability, integrity, and security. SPC-2 Tested Storage Configuration is the IS5600 generic version of the platform with settings documented in Appendix B. The generic version is ideal for customers integrating the platform into heterogeneous environments. In addition the IS5600 is available with especially tuned firmware intended for SGI high-performance compute environments. Versatility extends to the platform itself: The IS5600 comes with 6Gb/s SAS and three drive enclosure options supporting high performance and nearline SAS drives, selfencrypting drives (SEDs), and solid state disk (SSDs). All of the drive types and enclosures can be intermixed in a single system, which can be expanded to support up to 384 drives. The IS5600 controllers can be housed within the ultra-dense 4U 60-drive enclosures used here or in the available 12- and 24-drive enclosures. IS5600 is based on a field-proven 7th generation architecture designed to provide continuous access to data with its redundant hot - swappable components, automated path failover, online administration, proactive drive monitoring, a highly serviceable design, and SGI s worldwide support.

14 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Page 14 of 110 SPC-2 Reported Data SPC-2 Reported Data consists of three groups of information: The following SPC-2 Primary Metrics, which characterize the overall benchmark result: SPC-2 MBPS SPC-2 Price Performance Application Storage Unit (ASU) Capacity Supplemental data to the SPC-2 Primary Metrics. Total Price Data Protection Level Currency Used Target Country Reported Data for each SPC Test: Large File Processing (LFP), Large Database Query (LDQ), and Video on Demand Delivery (VOD) Test. SPC-2 MBPS represents the aggregate data rate, in megabytes per second, of all three SPC-2 workloads: Large File Processing (LFP), Large Database Query (LDQ), and Video on Demand (VOD). SPC-2 Price-Performance is the ratio of Total Price to SPC-2 MBPS. ASU (Application Storage Unit) Capacity represents the total storage capacity available to be read and written in the course of executing the SPC-2 benchmark. Total Price includes the cost of the Priced Storage Configuration plus three years of hardware maintenance and software support as detailed on page 17. Data Protection Level of Protected 2 using RAID-6, which provides double-parity RAID protection against data loss. Protected 2: The single point of failure of any component in the configuration will not result in permanent loss of access to or integrity of the SPC-2 Data Repository. Currency Used is formal name for the currency used in calculating the Total Price and SPC-2 Price-Performance. That currency may be the local currency of the Target Country or the currency of a difference country (non-local currency). The Target Country is the country in which the Priced Storage Configuration is available for sale and in which the required hardware maintenance and software support is provided either directly from the Test Sponsor or indirectly via a third-party supplier.

29 SPC-2 TEST EXECUTION RESULTS Page 29 of 110 SPC-2 TESTS, TEST PHASES, TEST RUN SEQUENCES, AND TEST RUNS Each Test is an atomic unit that must be executed from start to finish before any other Test, Test Phase, or may be executed. The Tests may be executed in any sequence. The results from each Test, Test Phase, and are listed below along with a more detailed explanation of each component.

30 SPC-2 TEST EXECUTION RESULTS Page 30 of 110 LARGE FILE PROCESSING TEST Large File Processing Test Clause The Large File Processing Test consists of the I/O operations associated with the type of applications, in a wide range of fields, which require simple sequential processing of one or more large files. Specific examples of those types of applications include scientific computing and large-scale financial processing Clause The Large File Processing Test has three Test Phases, which shall be executed in the following uninterrupted sequence: 1. WRITE ONLY 2. READ-WRITE 3. READ ONLY The BC shall not be restarted or manually disturbed, altered, or adjusted during the execution of the Large File Processing Test. If power is lost to the BC during this Test all results shall be rendered invalid and the Test re-run in its entirety. Clause The Full Disclosure Report will contain the following content for the Large File Processing Test: 1. A listing of the SPC-2 Workload Generator commands and parameters used to execute each of the s in the Large File Processing Test. 2. The human readable SPC-2 Test Results File for each of the s in the Large File Processing Test. 3. The following three tables: Average : The average, in MB per second for the Measurement Interval of each in the Large File Processing Test. Average per Stream: The average per Stream, in MB per second, for the Measurement Interval of each in the Large File Processing Test. Average Response Time: The average response time, in milliseconds (ms), for the Measurement Interval of each in the Large File Processing Test. 4. Average, Average per Stream and Average Response Time graphs as defined in Clauses , and SPC-2 Workload Generator Commands and Parameters The SPC-2 Workload Generator commands and parameters for the Large File Processing s are documented in Appendix E: SPC-2 Workload Generator Execution Commands and Parameters on Page 109.
