Unified Storage Systems. Storage made simple.

On November 18th 2008, Sun introduced a new line of Open Storage appliances, Sun Storage 7000 Unified Storage Systems, also known as "Amber Road." Sun Startup Essentials program members can buy these systems right now at over 40% off list prices (with Sun Startup Essentials program member prices).

These new systems simplify storage administration while dramatically improving performance, diagnostics and troubleshooting.

A few highlights:

Installation and configuration in under 5 minutes
Universal Storage - Includes NFS, iSCSI, CIFS, FTP, HTTP, NDMP, Active Directory, NIS, LDAP and more - all out of the box
DTrace-based analytics to monitor, diagnose, troubleshoot, and resolve problems before they impact your business (and before your users complain!)
¼ the power of competing systems (more than 60% lower annual operating costs for power, space, and cooling)
Significant cost/performance boost over competing systems
