No Longer Orderable
This product has reached end-of-life and is no longer orderable. It is superceded by the next generation Sun Storage 7000 Unified Storage Systems. Designed for large data-repository applications, such as healthcare, science, and education, the open source Sun StorageTek 5800 System revolutionizes the economics of storing, managing, and archiving fixed content data. You can centralize, consolidate, and simplify your data, all with an integrated one-rack stack.
