Sun Microsystems enhance the main technology and rapid customer adoption of integrated storage portfolio that exceed the performance and data protection capabilities Sun Storage 7000.
In a complex IT situation at the moment, companies are forced to store and manage the increasing amount of data with a limited budget. Sun Storage 7000 was launched in 2008 to help deliver greater performance and reduced complexity in helping businesses meet the challenges of this evolving.

Since then Sun has released more than 35 petabytes of storage integrated portfolio and increase the number of customers quarter after quarter of a variety of industries including education, financial services, government, health care, media and entertainment, manufacturing and others who need faster access to data and the migration path easier.

“Integrated Storage has become one of the growing market share rapidly in the open-storage industry, because customers like to find the performance, simplicity and scalability in the price of traditional storage products,” said Graham Lovell, senior director, Open Storage, Sun Microsystems

Customers can realize an increase of 30 percent in terms of performance and, in many cases, provide faster access to data, better data management simple and the migration of data more easily, even in complex environments, “said Lovell.

Increased portfolio Sun includes increased application performance over iSCSI SAN support a better and improved performance for Oracle databases. In addition, customers get the performance of higher network bandwidth four times greater (40Gb/detik) and the risk of lower network through InfiiniBand (IB). Addition of new CPUs provide additional performance by 30 percent to 24 cores and increasing system bandwidth, and cache DRAM doubled, up to 512GB, the highest in the industry.

With the addition of Triple-Parity RAID, Sun was the first major storage vendor to offer powerful data protection issues from as many as three drives, thus reducing the risk of losing data when using disk drives with capacities greater longer rebuild time. Sun also became the largest NAS storage vendor only offering Triple Mirroring, which provides additional protection against disk problems and significantly improve recovery scenarios and support issues.

Sun also makes Sun Storage 7000 easier to maintain and use, the Shadow features a new Data Migration allows customers to easily move data from NAS devices at no additional cost competitors and the management of iSCSI and feature improvements that allow the provision of storage and server systems are more efficient . In addition, storage administrators can manage Sun Storage systems and storage of their 7000 Windows using the Microsoft Management Console, improving their management experience using this interface
