SAN Benchmarks
We have benchmarked a variety of products from many SAN vendors. Table 9-3 shows a selection of typical results at low concurrency.

The exact SAN vendors and configurations shall remain a secret,
although we can reveal that these are not low-budget SANs. We ran these
benchmarks with synchronous 16 KB
operations, which emulates the way that InnoDB operates when configured
in O_DIRECT mode.
