Are VPLEX and 3PAR on each other's compatibility matrices?
Not sure your question is answerable. I don't believe its feasable to compare a 3PAR cpg to a VNX2 frame... adjusting that question to be apples to apples:
100x Nearline Spindles on 3PAR using chunklet based raid wide striping vs 100x Nearline Spindles on VNX2 using disk based raid groups, hands down 3PAR will perform better.
For starters, the VNX is (imho) crippled by the deployment of legacy disk based raid groups and hot sparing. For every 30 or so spindles, they recommend 1 hot spare. A hot spare in disk based raid means an entire spindle is set aside, to do nothing. In the chunklet based raid technology deployed by 3PAR, as well as XIV and Compellent, space space is distributed over all the disks, so every spindle in the system is used for the daily workload.
