Sun supposedly operates secret NAS project. sun NAS project by: awd4dad 11/22/04 02:34 pm Msg: 1104527 of 1104537 Sun supposedly operates secret NAS project Chris Mellor, Techworld.com 22/11/2004 12:08:07 Sun Microsystems has a secret NAS project using 64-bit Opterons and densely packed drive arrays. It is looking to add a massive amount of Mips (million instructions per second) to its storage boxes to provide better and faster storage applications to serve, store and protect data. Its latest StorEdge 5310 NAS appliance uses a single Xeon CPU and can scale to 65TB of FC storage or 179TB of SATA capacity via 28 expansion units. The Honeycomb project, however, reportedly has four Opteron blades mounted on a mid-plane with 16 drives at the rear of the 3U rack shelf unit. Each blade would have two gigabit Ethernet links to the outside world. This has a huge amount of additional processing power compared to the 5310. Such power could be bought to bear on serving block-based storage, on virtualization and on a 64-bit file system, such as Sun's SAM FS, even on to a storage grid. ... Canepa said: "We intend to aggressively attack the multibillion dollar storage market." You can't get much clearer than that. computerworld.com.au
