Sun StorageTek 5800 System |
Features and Benefits |
Are you juggling millions of unstructured files in your fixed content storage system? Youre probably grappling with several issues: data sprawl, poor search, slow retrieval, limited metadata, growing storage database licensing fees, and nagging data integrity declines. We can solve that.
|
Key Benefits |
- Massive storage with integrated organization for fixed content access
- Sophisticated metadata and search capabilities
- Extreme reliability and availability
- Seamless scalability of the modular architecture

An Integrated Stack of Intelligent Technologies
Instant relief for large-scale archives
Now you can centralize fixed content unstructured data files in a system designed just for that purpose.
Search and retrieve through built-in intelligence
The Sun StorageTek 5800 Systems integrated Sun Fire x64 server and extensible metadata software onboard gives you a lot of unique advantages. For example, you can stop using file names. Instead, query your expandable, intuitive, metadata database using unique object IDs or SQL-like queries. You can associate metadata with every digital object you store.

Purpose-Built Reliability
Based on a balanced architecture
This remarkable system uses a multi-cell based symmetric, clustered architecture. Within a cell, all storage, control, data, and metadata path operations are distributed across the cluster to provide both reliability and performance scaling. Each storage node is independent of all other nodes, and theres complete symmetry in both the hardware and software on each storage node. That way, you get higher accessibility and reliability.
In the event of a component failure, relax
All but eliminate system administrator intervention with reliable, and self-healing functionality. If a component fails, the system recovers the objects functionality elsewhere, and there is simply no urgency to replace the component as the system can sustain multiple component failures.

Join the Open Storage Revolution
Escape vendor lock-in
Open Storage combines open-source software with industry-standard components so you can reduce storage costs, select the best, most cost-effective hardware and software, and enjoy the support of the global Open Storage community.
A passion for Open Storage
The global Open Storage community is driven by a passion to make Open Storage even better. Community developrs write open source code thats protected by specific licenses, ensuring that everyone has access.
Protects your investment
Thanks to the use of open source software and industry-standard components, your investment is always protected with Open Storage. Companies come and go, which means that support for your proprietary OS or storage software may not always be there. That will never happen with open source.
The first open-source storage system
The StorageTek 5800 system is the first commercially available, fixed-content open-source storage system. Based on OpenSolaris and Suns commitment to open interfaces, the Sun StorageTek 5800 system protects you against vendor lock-in. So your data not only survives technology transitions, but also avoids compatibility problems.
Test drive the StorageTek 5800 for free with Open Edition
Suns Open Edition software allows you to model your specific storage solutions before implementing a real-world rollout. Open Edition is a free open-source version of Honeycomb system software that emulates the behavior of of a StorageTek 5800 system. To learn more about Open Edition, go to http://opensolaris.org/os/project/honeycomb/ .

Cut the Stress and Cost of Archiving
Improve the reliability and availability of your data assets
Fixed data archives are vulnerable to corruption and data loss, especially in areas of bit rot and data integrity with traditional archive solutions. The Sun StorageTek 5800 provides a comprehensive defensive strategy that includes bit rot protection and real-time checksums. Reed-Solomon RAID 6 protection, advanced data placement algorithms, self-healing capability work together to protect your assets.
Scale seamlessly without delay
Typically, capacity-only additions are disruptive, requiring you to balance data across new file filers or add to a SAN. The Sun StorageTek 5800 system gives you quick, easy horizontal scalability via cell expansion without incurring costly technology refresh or data migration. Instead, you gain the advantage of being able to boost capacity, and at the same time, boost the compute power, memory, and performance to match. Scale in affordable increments; its easier in a single integrated system.
Manage a petabyte from one screen
The Sun StorageTek 5800 System is driven by the Solaris OS and comes with a powerful management interface for monitoring and operating the system. You get an Object Archive Client to manage object data, and Cluster Management provides a suite of services for communication between nodes. Embedded metadata database searches for the systems metadata. And self-healing services looks for problems and repairs them. In fact, the entire system is equipped specifically to cut the need for administrative intervention and centralize its minimal management requirements.
