I am looking for a server (something like an R610/R710) but it needs the fastest possible storage.

At the moment this machine is part of our virtual environment and it uses the high performance SAN (on SSDs) from hosting provider.

 

This server if a  fileserver (small files) and also uses Sybase Advatage Server read these (.dbf) files from applications.

 

The performance we are getting on this high performance SAN is maximum about 6MB/s (with 4K blocks).

A downside is that I need 1 volume (Drive) of about 750GB to store the files.

 

Does anyone have any idea what solution would be best to achieve better performance?

Are there test result available for difference solutions (hardware)?
