• Centralized volume management and data services.
• Wizard-driven workflow.

Incrementally scale capacity to 65TB, mirrored cache to 28GB, Fibre Channel (FC) host ports to 28, and volumes to 1,024.

Adds capacity while maintaining consistent levels of performance and availability.

Saves money by easily matching storage to your business and application needs.

Ability to simultaneously use hot spare pooling and dedicated hot sparing.

Shares hot-spares among all RAID sets in an array or virtual storage pool.

Lowers costs by reducing the amount of storage used for hot spare capability while increasing redundancy and data availability.

Choice of 2Gb FC disk drives.

Enables deployment of 36GB 15Krpm, 73GB 10Krpm, 73GB 15Krpm, or 146GB 10Krpm disk drives.

Saves money by matching storage costs to application workload type (e.g., use 10Krpm drives for general purpose application workloads; use 15Krpm drives for high-performance latency drive applications).

Heterogeneous host platform support.

Supports hosts running Sun Solaris, IBM AIX, HP-UX, Microsoft Windows 2000, Microsoft Windows 2003 server, and Red Hat Linux Enterprise Editions.

Save money by using one storage platform to serve the storage needs of multiple disparate servers.

Support for rapid volume creation using dedicated or shared pooling of storage resources.

Provides ability to provision both dedicated and shared storage resources for a given storage pool.

Saves money by increasing overall storage asset utilization, cost-effectively supporting multiple applications on the same storage system. Saves time by quickly creating and assigning new volumes to host servers.

Centralized volume management and data services.

Volume management and data services for the system reside outside the RAID controllers to deliver symmetric access to many heterogeneous hosts (servers).

Provides ability to do more with less by providing non-disruptive services that do not affect production I/O. Saves money by reducing licensing and administrative costs associated with multiple host-based software instances.

Sun StorEdge Data Snapshot software.

Rapidly creates snapshot volume copies, updates them in a single step, automatically alerts users as snapshot space fills up, and maintains snapshot integrity in the event of power loss.

Saves time and money, enhances application performance, and improves operational efficiencies.

Storage profiles and adaptive cache.

Configures storage by selecting a profile that represents the expected I/O workload of your application.

Saves time when provisioning storage, as complexities such as stripe widths, chunk size, cache page size, and caching policies are eliminated from the user's perspective.

Wizard-driven workflow.

Provides easy-to-understand, step-by-step processes for many of the frequent tasks required to set up a storage pool, provisioning a volume, and mapping a volume.

Saves time during the configuration process.

Scripting interface.

Common tasks such as backup are created as reproducible scripts.

Saves time by automating common, but lengthy, storage maintenance tasks.
