SPC（Storage Performance Council，存儲性能理事會）為非盈利機構(gòu)，它的建立就是為了定義、標準化以及促進存儲子系統(tǒng)的基準，同時向計算機廠商和用戶發(fā)布客觀、權(quán)威的性能數(shù)據(jù)。SPC對所有公司、學術(shù)機構(gòu)及個人開放，接受其成為SPC成員。SPC的每一次測試結(jié)果都經(jīng)過審核并被同行認可，以確保結(jié)果的一致性和準確性。

About SPC

The goal of the SPC is to serve as a catalyst for performance improvement in storage subsystems. It works to foster the free and open exchange of ideas and information, and to ensure fair and vigorous competition between vendors as a means of improving the products and services available to the general public.

In support of its goals the SPC develops benchmarks focusing on storage subsystems. These subsystems include components like: electronic disks, magnetic disks, magnetic tapes, optical disks, media robots, media robot software systems, media library software systems, backup/archival software systems, hierarchical storage management systems, as well as the adapters, controllers, and networks that connect storage devices to the computer system.

The SPC is also focused on expanding the recognition and use of its industry-standard benchmarks as well as publicizing those benchmark results. As a result, customers will be able to more accurately assess the performance and price/performance of competing storage products prior to acquisition. Although anyone can run SPC benchmarks, for them to be disseminated and adopted within the industry, published benchmark results must successfully complete a SPC audit for accuracy and authenticity.

Join the SPC

The Storage Performance Council (SPC) is a vendor-neutral standards body focused on the storage industry. It has created the first industry-standard performance benchmark targeted at the needs and concerns of the storage industry. From component-level evaluation to the measurement of complete distributed storage systems, SPC benchmarks will provide a rigorous, audited and reliable measure of performance. By joining the SPC you will not only benefit from the insight that the SPC results will provide to the storage industry, but you will have a hand in defining the workloads and benchmark specifications that produce those results, assuring they address not only the broad needs of the industry, but the particular concerns of your own organization.
