Cost-Effective

Easy on your budget

Flat or declining budgets are a fact of life in today’s IT environments. But so are growing storage demands. The Sun Storage 7110 delivers 2 TB or 4.2 TB capacity with all enterprise-class software features included and no additional software licenses required, at a very attractive price.

Eco-efficient

The Sun Storage 7110 also helps you lower costs by lowering energy consumption and offering higher storage density, which reduces space requirements.

No additional software licenses

Unlike other vendors, who charge license fees for protocols and data services, Sun Open Storage Manager includes features like CIFS, NFS, replication, and snapshot restore. No additional licenses are required.

Reduced Risk

Solaris ZFS increases availability

The Sun Storage 7000 file system, Solaris ZFS, is a transaction-based file system that only performs copy-on-write operation to protect existing data, and provide RAID-Z DP to maximize data availability Solaris ZFS.

Data integrity features keep you up and running

The data integrity features include checksum protection for data and metadata as well as a self-healing mechanism to correct any potential data corruption.
