Beefy Storage Offering From Sun

Sun Microsystems held a webcast detailing their new storage offering, code named "Amber Road". The major selling points were scalability, flexibility, and throughput.

If you've been following the OpenSolaris communities, you knew this was coming. The innovations from ZFS, native CIFS sharing iSCSI, and NFSv4, all came together to build this product line. Now put all of those software innovations on high end hardware and you have a storage solution that can match other enterprise environments at a lower cost per gigabyte.
