Infiniband Interconnect
The Sun Storage 7000 supports Infiniband and Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA), providing a high-speed interconnect that accelerates Oracle RAC, media streaming, and financial services low-latency applications, as well as HPC Cluster applications. What's more, Infiniband and RDMA vastly improve the already outstanding storage performance enabled by the Sun Storage 7000's Hybrid Storage Pool technology.
Flash Ahead
Enterprise SSDs based on Flash technology provide tens of thousands of IOPs, compared to hundreds of IOPs for hard disk drives, unlocking new levels of performance. The Sun Storage 7000 incorporates SSDs along with additional features that provide write-cache protection in case of a power loss.
Solaris ZFS Makes it Happen
Solaris ZFS, the Amber Road file system, seamlessly integrates SSDs and HDDs and optimizes access to different media types. The file system transparently manages data placement, directing frequently-used data to fast SSDs and less-frequently used data to slower, less expensive HDDs.
Shatter the I/O Bottlenecks
The system's hybrid architecture gives you the speed and performance you need to shatter the I/O bottlenecks with no administrator intervention. In fact, Hybrid Storage Pools with SSDs can improve I/O performance by 100x compared to mechanical disk drives.
More Performance, Less Power
SSDs dramatically increase performance while cutting power consumption by up to 80% compared to spinning disks. Just what you need to reduce space and energy costs and increase scalability.
Hybrid Storage Pool
The Sun Storage 7000's Hybrid Storage Pool dramatically reduces storage I/O bottlenecks. It combines DRAM, SSDs, and HDDs to deliver dramatically improved performance and increased capacity, while significantly lowering power consumption.
