No Longer Orderable This product has reached end-of-life and is no longer orderable. Please see these products: Sun StorageTek 9990 System1 Sun StorageTek 9990V System2 The Sun StorageTek 9980 system provides extreme levels of performance and capacity needed in large data center environments. This highly available and massively scalable storage system has a base configuration consisting of two frames: the Control Frame and the Array Frame. The Control Frame contains the cache and switch modules, host and drive interfaces, disk array processors, and the service processor. Up to four Array Frames can be supported; each with redundant power supplies and up to 256 drives. The system's virtualization capabilities enable storage consolidation, which helps to reduce total cost of ownership (TCO) by enabling connections to multiple hosts and allows for more flexibility in configuring a storage area network (SAN) infrastructure. The storage system is easy to operate and control and helps to simplify data management. Software is available to support key storage applications typically used in data center environments including path management, real-time replication, and remote mirroring for disaster recovery.
