An astute reader will notice that two different servers were used by CSCS in their testing. For the Fusion and Virident testing, they used a system with an AMD 2.0Ghz processor. For the RamSAN testing, they used a 2.93Ghz Intel processor.
That's not apples to apples, so it's quite questionable to compare the results between the two tests.
That link to the bitcon site is broken -- perhaps the document you are referring to was not supposed to be published? In any case, the last two quotes in your article come directly from Violin's own datasheet for the 3200 ( http://bit.ly/gpnk5t ), so I doubt that any real HP thought went into that.
