Radically Simplified Storage Economics


Lionel Lim

New thinking and better solutions to infrastructure problems are basic requirements in challenging economic times.

Nowhere is this more evident than in storage, which continues to grow at a breakneck pace, driven in every direction. Organizations of all sizes and across multiple industries are struggling to keep pace with today's data growth and the increasing complexity of storage management.

Sun recently launched the Sun Storage 7000 series Unified Storage Systems, the world's first open storage appliances. This product family, based upon breakthrough Sun technologies, fundamentally simplifies the way you manage your storage with unprecedented speed, scale and costs savings.

The new Sun Storage 7000 Unified Storage family offers:

  • Breakthrough diagnostics and troubleshooting capabilities that rapidly diagnose and resolve systems problems and minimize any impact on your business
  • Optimized performance with the Hybrid Storage Pool, designed to dramatically reduce input and output performance bottlenecks that require no administrator intervention
  • Storage installation and configuration in as little as 5 minutes
  • Up to 75% cost savings compared with traditional storage solutions, with significant space reduction, power and cooling efficiencies, and one-fourth the energy consumption

These systems include a fully integrated software stack (and no additional software license fees for upgrades) with support for a variety of operating environments; standard high-speed networking; tape connectivity, and powerful analytics tools.

The introduction of the Sun Storage 7000 series Unified Storage Systems has the potential to change the way you store and manage your data.
