Sun Microsystems (Santa Clara, CA) will introduce new Sun solid state disks (SSD) that will give customers greater application performance, massive scale, and value through the integration of the Solaris Operating System (OS), Solaris ZFS, and other open source technologies.
Sun is already shipping Solaris ZFS software optimized for SSD technologies through the OpenSolaris community and will add an end-to-end Flash-based disk product line to its portfolio, and giving customers 3x better performance at one-fifth the energy consumption of traditional spinning disk offerings, the company says.
Because the new Flash arrays reduce energy use, they will join Sun's growing portfolio of Eco Innovation products and services. To learn more about the open-storage community, download OpenSolaris software.
Sun is expected to deliver Flash-based products to market in the 2HCY08.
Sun Microsystems also announced that Sun xVM VirtualBox, its high-performance, free, and open-source desktop virtualization software, has surpassed five million downloads in just 18 months. With xVM VirtualBox software, end users can access their favorite software using any operating system and developers can build, test, and run cross-platform, multi-tier applications on a single laptop or desktop computer. xVM VirtualBox 1.6 software is the first free hypervisor to support all major host operating systems (OS), including Mac OS X, Linux, Windows, Solaris, and OpenSolaris. Download OpenxVM free of charge.
