Oracle has upgraded its Sun Storage 7000 unified storage system product line with built-in inline data deduplication, multiple storage pools, four and eight Gbit/sec Fibre Channel protocol support, and new one and two TB SAS disk drives, and increasing system capacity to 576TB.
The feature elaborates the usage of the Sun Storage 7000 system product line into Fibre Channel Storage Area Networks (SANs), and improve overall capacity and availability. These upgrades are designed to allow customers to progress into next-generation cloud computing infrastructure.
Additionally, Storage analytics allows storage administrators to locate and manage SAN workload hot spots and bottlenecks, understand how application and configuration changes affect the storage system, and provide Flash storage capabilities.
The Sun Storage 7000 system is designed to support Solaris, Enterprise Linux, VM, Database 11g, Applications, Fusion Middleware and Sun System software products, along with third party products.
Further, the enhanced product line allows integrated deduplication and compression, delivering significant space and cost savings and supports multiple storage pools, providing optimisation of storage for dynamic environments with multiple applications and user environments.
The Sun Storage 7000 system product line has coverage of file and block access protocols for a unified storage system, which is ideal for consolidated private clouds, and is a cost-effective upgrade for existing bulk storage.
It also simplifies storage deployment and management by enabling its maximum capacity of 576TB to be accessed as a single file system, or thousands of individual file systems and LUNs.
