So last year, you persuaded your boss to invest in an IBM® FlashSystem™ 840 for that important new web portal that required top-of-the-line performance. Now, your boss wants to see what he got for his money. IBM Spectrum Control™, a member of the IBM Spectrum Storage Suite, now enables you to easily compare the performance of your IBM FlashSystem to other storage systems. You can compare the response times and the I/O rates of IBM FlashSystem storage systems to other storage systems. 
All you need to do is select the storage systems to compare, then right-click and click View Performance.

By default, the performance view shows the Total I/O Rate - overall and Overall Response Time metrics. The volume metrics that are available are provided to allow comparisons across different storage systems, but represent performance that is measured for ports rather than for volumes.

To learn more about IBM Spectrum Control, see the IBM Spectrum Control documentation. To learn about new features and enhancements in IBM Spectrum Control, see New for IBM Spectrum Control Version 5.2.11. 

The IBM Spectrum Storage Suite includes six software offerings: IBM Spectrum Accelerate™, IBM Spectrum Archive™, IBM Spectrum Control, IBM Spectrum Protect™, IBM Spectrum Scale™ and IBM Spectrum Virtualize™.
