CEC: Storage: Hot Technology Cool Products


A discussion of Honeycomb and Thumper


It's all about the DATA.


Can't do anything without data.


Building on standardized components .


Data management


ID, Virtualize, Secure, Integrate


EVERYTHING


ID -- Build Trust


Virtualize -- Mask Complexity, Drive up Utilization and Performance


Sun has end to end virtulization available


Secure -- Security breach...tape lost, laptop stolen


Security everywhere...really everywhere...new T10000

Automatic encryption


Integrate -- Too many choices, Lack of Standards, Complex Interdependencies


We provide customer ready systems --- pre-built, racked, cabled, integrated and shipped

SAM-FS and QFS


Enterprise-Class NAS


Standard components and software...integrated!


Honeycomb...


Long term storage repositories(years)

Not OLTP, ERP or live database

Scales Billions of Objects


Standard components and software...integrated!

Storage API


Programable storage

Extensible

Horizontal scaling

Reliability through self healing

large scale repository applications

Deferred service model (fail in place...like Sun Grid, schedule work when convenient)

Expect to deploy multi-petabyte systems

RAIN -- Redundant Array of Inexpensive Nodes

Backup/NDMP


Thumper...(x4500)


High performance 4 way server, 16GB ram

Is it a server or storage?...both it depends...if you install an application it is a server.

ZFS and all related capabilities


HPC, D2D2T, Infiniband Server, iSCSI Target, SAM-FS, NFS/CIFS
