An Objectivity and Panasas White Paper Panasas ActiveStor Benchmark
THE BENEFITS OF AN OBJECTIVITY/DB AND PANASAS
PARALLEL STORAGE HIGH -THROUGHPUT SOLUTION:
A BENCHMARK REPORT
Background
Objectivity/DB uses a powerful, distributed processing architecture to manage localized,
centralized or distributed object databases. The Panasas® ActivStor Parallel Storage
Cluster accelerates time to results with highly reliable, massively scalable storage
solutions for performance-driven applications in Government R&D, Oil & Gas,
Manufacturing, Higher Education & Research, Life Sciences, CAE manufacturing, and
emerging financial markets.
This white paper describes a benchmark that compares the performance of
Objectivity/DB running against a local file system versus using files stored on a Panasas
ActiveStor configuration. It covers the main features of Objectivity/DB and the
ActiveStor equipment before explaining the benchmark software and the hardware
configuration. It then presents and interprets the benchmark results. The benchmark
demonstrated significant write speed and dramatic read speed improvements over
conventional disk storage.
