* “All-Flash Effective Capacity” is the capacity available to the application after Atlantis HyperDup data reduction and data protection. This capacity number shown includes data protection to support resiliency with 1 of 4 nodes failing and a 70% data reduction rate. The data reduction rate will vary based on workload, which could result in an effective capacity that is higher or lower than the number shown.

Testing Methodology
• Scalability Test• Determine overall HyperScale VDI “real world” scalability
• HA Test• Observe behavior in the event of a node failover and evaluate
performance
• Iometer• Evaluate IOPS
• PassMark• Compare against other SSDs, etc.
LoginVSI – VSI Max & VSI Base
• What is VSI Max and VSI Base?
• What do they tell us?• How are they measured?

0 - 799 Very Good
800 - 1299 Good
