Sun Microsystems Inc. rolled out the Sun StorageTek Virtual Storage Manager (VSM), which reduces costs and simplifies management in the data center. The company said that Fujifilm will be the tape media development partner for the next generation of the Sun StorageTek T10000 tape drive family

"As the amount of user-generated data continues to grow exponentially, there is a need for customers to implement storage solutions that can store more in a shrinking footprint," said Jon Benson, senior vice president, storage, Sun Microsystems, Inc. "The use of Sun's tape virtualization offers customers up to a ten times (10x) cost savings versus traditional storage products, reduced management time, less physical systems needed to store data, and risk mitigation through the industry's best disaster recovery options."

Sun tape archive highlights:

  • Three times (3x) capacity increase for the Sun StorageTek VSM5 to 90 terabytes with new connectivity options
     
  • New Sun StorageTek VSM5e, a low cost, entry-level version of the Sun StorageTek VSM 5, targeted at customer disaster recovery and test sites
     
  • New Sun StorageTek SL3000 Access Expansion Module (AEM), which enables 24x7 availability with fully redundant and replaceable robotics.
     
  • Sun StorageTek Enterprise Library software (ELS) combines Sun's mainframe software products to deliver improved performance and functionality.
