Sun StorageTek 9985 System
Key Benefits
Storage Virtualization, supports data lifecycle management (DLM) strategies by enabling multiple storage systems to be managed as one, while creating the foundation for a tiered storage infrastructure.
Provides common management and replication for mixed storage systems, protecting customers’ investments in skills, software and existing storage systems.
Logical partitioning allocates cache, disks, and I/O to specific applications to help organizations meet service level agreements and create charge-back models to help manage the cost of storage.
LUN Security, Write-Once Read-Many (WORM) capability, and electronic shred to support compliance requirements.
Comprehensive suite of data protection software seamlessly protects critical data.
Features and Benefits
Innovation in a smaller package. A modular version of the Sun StorageTek 9990 system, the Sun StorageTek 9985 system shares the same third generation crossbar architecture, microcode, software, and connectivity protocols.
Innovative Technologies
Storage Virtualization
Supports the operation of multiple storage systems connected to a Sun StorageTek 9985 system to be managed as if they were all in a single system through common management tools and software. Protects enterprises existing storage investments and supports Data Lifecycle Management strategies.
The same benefits as a Sun StorageTek 9990 system in a flexible, modular form factor.
Utilizes the same microcode, software and management tools of the Sun StorageTek 9990 system. Sun StorageTek 9985 system customers can deploy a high-end data center class in a flexible, modular form factor while leveraging existing IT skill sets and management software.
Helps Meet Regulatory Compliance
Support compliance requirements in a disk system. Write-Once Read-Many (WORM) capability enables data retention and regulatory compliance needs, protecting data by making it non-erasable and non-corruptible.
Storage Resource Partitioning
Sun StorageTek 9900 Virtual Partitioning Manager enables the logical partitioning of ports, cache, and disk capacity on a Sun StorageTek 9985 system to create up to eight independently managed Virtual Private Storage Machines, for specific users, servers, or applications.
3rd generation crossbar switch architecture
Delivers up to nine times the internal bandwidth of competitive storage systems. Enables consolidation and more fully utilizes the physical storage capacity of the Sun StorageTek 9985 system, helping lower total cost of ownership (TCO).
Native FICON and ESCON connectivity
