Sun StorageTek 6920 System

Features and Benefits

No Longer Orderable

Manage more data with less risk, affordably. The Sun StorageTek 6920 system brings relief to companies facing high data growth and multiple disparate applications.


Key Benefits

  • Saves money by matching storage to business and application needs
  • Helps contain costs by using one storage platform to serve the storage requirements of multiple disparate servers
  • Improves operational efficiencies while saving time, capacity and money
  • Provides continuous, non-stop access to data

Supports multiple applications in a single storage system

Consolidate application storage

Increase efficiency by supporting several applications in a single storage system. Enjoy the benefits of reduced complexity, centralized management, fewer software licenses and less maintenance while retaining the security and simplicity advantages of direct-attached storage.

Couple with Solaris 10 Operating System for even more consolidation power

Use Sun’s Solaris 10 Operating System (OS) with the Sun StorageTek 6920 system and achieve even more strength from the application to server to storage. Both Solaris 10 OS and Sun StorageTek 6920 systems enable flexible allocation of system resources and the capability to dedicate resources to specific applications. When using both Sun solutions together, the result is an end-to-end consolidation of IT infrastructure.


Integrates disparate storage arrays and operating systems

Eliminate complexity

The Sun StorageTek 6920 system integrates and virtualizes a range of different storage arrays and operating systems concurrently. A variety of array types, including non-Sun storage can be integrated and virtualized into a single, tiered-storage system.

Protect and preserve investment

Preserve existing storage assets and add additional capabilities by using a unified suite of Sun data management and protection software – all without disrupting existing, in-place data.


Software simplifies capacity management and minimizes data loss window

Sun StorageTek Pool Manager Software simplifies capacity management

Simplify capacity management by virtualizing and pooling storage resources, enabling quick and precise provisioning based on application workload. Simplifies administration, lowers risk and preserves existing storage investments with a consistent suite of software across both Sun and non-Sun storage.

Sun StorageTek Data Snapshot minimizes data loss window

Reduce the window for data loss and improves time to recovery while supporting a broad range of users. Get rapid disk-based recovery and save on disk space. Flexible to handle unexpected growth when it’s needed.

Sun StorageTek Data Replicator Software protects against data loss

Increase business continuity by replicating volumes to protect against data loss from a system, building, site or even a regional outage. Copy installed storage from Sun, EMC or HP and protect existing storage investments while saving money.

Sun StorageTek Data Mirror Software speeds copies

Leverage data by creating full copies of volumes and then splitting them off for use by other applications, such as backup or test. Rejoin the mirrored volumes rapidly when needed. Accelerates process of brining mirrored copies current and moves data quickly.
