Designed to provide highest levels of performance, reliability and availability
Performance Leadership
When introduced in 2005, it was the fastest system in its class. Now, more than 2 years later, and even with new products from key competitors like EMC, HP and HDS, the StorageTek 6540 array is still the fastest modular system in the midrange. With 575,000k of cache-based IOPS, you can rev up your infrastructure, transact larger volumes of business, increase productivity, and grow your top-line.
High availability architecture and components ensure data availability
The StorageTek 6540 array architecture includes the non-disruptive addition of capacity and volumes, RAID and segment size migration, plus switched technology with point-to-point connections. All components from the disk drives to the mid-plane are hot-swappable. Using hot spares in every storage tray of the StorageTek 6540 array supports high availability. Each array controller has two power supplies, each with its own battery backup system providing redundant power for continuous uptime.
Data services support business continuity
Optional software solutions within the StorageTek 6540 array provide improved business continuity. For example, Sun StorageTek Data Replicator software enables synchronous and asynchronous replication to remote sites over Fibre Channel or IP. The Sun StorageTek Data Snapshot software lets you conserve costly disk space by using real-time copies of critical volumes. And, the Sun StorageTek Volume Copy software lets you create independent copies of production volumes quickly and securely.

Scalable and flexible
Non-disruptive growth
The StorageTek 6540 array easily adapts to change without disrupting existing applications. Compatible storage modules enable non-disruptive system upgrades and data-in-place migration of assets to current and future generations. The compatible and common array management across the entire Sun StorageTek Series 6000 product line protects investments in management tools, training, and forklift upgrades. Scaling up to 16 disk drives per tray with up to 14 expansion trays makes the StorageTek 6540 array the ideal solution for growing enterprises. It supports up to 224 disks and 224 TB for immense data capacity in a small footprint.
Match storage to information value
The StorageTek 6540 array allows you to intermix Fibre Channel and SATA drives and design a tiered storage environment that matches storage cost to the current value of data along with centralized management and integrated data services for business continuity. Use expansion trays with Fibre Channel drives for high performance applications while moving secondary storage to less expensive expansion trays loaded with SATA drives.

Easy-to-use management software
Use just one interface
The SMI-S compliant Sun StorageTek Common Array Manager interface provides an easy-to-use interface to configure, manage, and monitor the StorageTek 6540 array. Use the Configuration Service browser interface to access the Storage Automated Diagnostic Environment software to diagnose problems, view events and monitor array health. Benefit from built-in performance tracking and automated diagnostics and get the most out of your arrays and investment.
Manage from any web browser
No need to be tied to a desk. Management software enables storage administrators to manage the array from any secure internet connection anywhere in the world. Provision by application and pool storage across the entire Sun StorageTek Modular family.

Available as a Sun System Pack
Sun System Pack
The Sun StorageTek 6540 Array is available as a Sun System Pack , which combines the product with the services as one optimized offering. Sun System Packs for modular disk go beyond the traditional warranty and include 24-hour technical support by phone, extended on-site coverage hours, SunVIP cross vendor/platform interoperability problem management, and access to online learning resources to help you accelerate performance from day one. In short, you can get the flexible storage you want and the services you need at a price thats less than purchasing the hardware and services separately - and in some cases less than the storage product warranty.
