Data Center Storage
The Sun StorEdge 9900 series systems bring Sun customers advanced storage technologies to address the biggest data management challenges of today's high-end enterprises. The Sun StorEdge 9900 series are designed to meet the most rigorous uptime requirements. All members of this series are built with fully redundant, fault tolerant components and allow non-disruptive updates and maintenance. In fact, all members of the Sun StorEdge 9900 series are available with an optional 100% data availability guarantee.
The flagship of the Sun StorEdge 9900 series is the revolutionary Sun StorEdge 9990 system. The Sun StorEdge 9990 system's ability to attach and virtualize disparate storage systems and manage them as a single system greatly simplifies data management and creates the foundation for a tiered storage infrastructure. It's massive capacity and extreme scalability make it a superb platform for large-scale storage consolidation. A universal replication layer allow enterprises to realize complex business continuity and disaster recovery plans. With the Sun StorEdge 9990 system, customers can protect and add value to their existing storage investments.
All Sun StorEdge 9900 series systems are optimized for the SolarisTM Operating Environment, certified for Sun ClusterTM 3.0 and 3.1, and included in Sun's ongoing certification and performance program. They are fully compatible with Sun StorEdge SAM-FS and QFS software. Sun StorEdge 9900 series systems include proactive maintenance service with "call-home" capability and are supported by global mission-critical support centers.
The Sun StorEdge 9900 series systems are ideal for data center SAN solutions, for data center consolidation solutions, and as storage companions to Sun FireTM 15K, Sun Fire 12K and Sun EnterpriseTM 10000 servers, underscoring the value of Sun's complete systems approach to meeting customer needs.

Sun StorEdge 9980 System
 The Sun StorEdge 9980 system provides extreme levels of performance and capacity needed in large data center environments. This highly available and massively scalable storage system has a base configuration consisting of two frames: the Control Frame and the Array Frame. The Control Frame contains the cache and switch modules, host and drive interfaces, disk array processors, and the service processor. Up to four Array Frames can be supported, each with redundant power supplies and up to 256 drives. The system's virtualization capabilities enable storage consolidation, which helps to reduce total cost of ownership (TCO) by enabling connections to multiple hosts and allows for more flexibility in configuring a storage area network (SAN) infrastructure. The storage system is easy to operate and control and helps to simplify data management. Software is available to support key storage applications typically used in data center environments including path management, real-time replication, and remote mirroring for disaster recovery.

Sun StorEdge 9985 System
The Sun StorEdge 9985 is a scaled-down, modular version of the Sun StorEdge 9990 system and shares the same crossbar architecture, microcode, software, and connectivity protocols. The Sun StorEdge 9985 is the right choice for customers who have an existing investment in Sun StorEdge 9900 systems and software, and want a compatible system for new deployments where the full scalability of the Sun StorEdge 9990 is not required. Current Sun StorEdge 9970 customers who are ready for a technology refresh will find the Sun StorEdge 9985 a compelling choice.
- Provides common management and replication for mixed storage systems
- Protects existing storage investments through consolidation
- Creates a foundation for ILM and tiered storage infrastructures
- Enables complex disaster recovery plans
- Helps meet service level agreements with logical partitioning of storage resources
- Helps lower storage costs for enterprises with mainframe applications with native FICON/ESCON connectivity

Sun StorEdge 9990 System
 For customers faced with growing volumes of data and an increasingly complex and heterogeneous storage infrastructure, the Sun StorEdge 9990 system provides an application-oriented solution that matches IT to business requirements, improving efficiencies, simplifying management, increasing return in investment (ROI), and reducing total cost of ownership (TCO). The Sun StorEdge 9990 system represents the third generation of the industry-leading Sun StorEdge 9900 series, and it provides the highest levels of performance and availability for large mission-critical environments.
The heart of the Sun StorEdge 9990 system is the Hi-Star crossbar switch, which provides levels of storage consolidation previously unattainable in the industry, and enables the virtualization of both internal and external heterogeneous storage in a single storage system. This helps to reduce TCO by enabling connections to multiple hosts, and allows for more flexibility in configuring a storage-area network (SAN) infrastructure.
The storage system is easy to operate and control and helps simplify data management. Software is available to support key storage applications typically used in data center environments, including path management, real-time replication, and remote mirroring for disaster recovery. | |
