Solaris Cluster Open Storage Program

Overview

Sun's Open Storage Program provides customers with expanded choice of supported third-party storage arrays with Solaris Cluster. Customers who have invested in non-Sun storage infrastructure and want to use Solaris Cluster for application availability, can do so easily and seamlessly. So sit back, relax, and enjoy the new possibilities.

  • No more compromises on availability and quality
  • Increased choice in configurations and storage arrays
  • And, support for your entire high availability solution


No More Compromises

Businesses today demand application availability with investment protection in their Data Center infrastructure. This program directly supports this requirement. The program leverages the methodology and tools that have made deployments of Solaris Cluster with Sun Storage products successful. It also ensures that the quality of the overall cluster solution remain high, so it delivers customers' mission critical applications.

Increased Choice

In today's diverse IT climate, customers want increased choice in configurations without compromising availability and quality. This program directly offers this preference. Sun works with other storage systems vendors to self-certify their arrays for Solaris Cluster software. The qualification process is as rigorous as Sun's own methods of validating Sun Cluster 3 with Sun StorEdge. The joint effort allows customers to receive end-to-end High Availability for their mission-critical applications on a diverse choice of storage platforms.

Support for Entire Solution

In addition to ensuring seamless interoperability of third party storage products with Solaris Cluster, this program delivers cooperative -- no finger pointing -- support customers will enjoy. Both parties test configurations. Both parties respond to support calls. This level of quality and support is not offered by competing products.
