Sun Microsystems has extended its reach into the open systems market by introducing Sun StorEdge T3 array support for Windows NT, HP-UX, IBM AIX, and Linux system platforms.
Now Sun customers can reap the benefits of the highly scalable Sun StorEdge T3 workgroup and enterprise arrays throughout their heterogeneous server environments. With this announcement Sun delivers on its strategy of open, scalable storage networks and its mission to connect anyone to the web anywhere, anytime, on any device.
"Sun customers in SA can now get the benefits of the Sun StorEdge T3 array not only on their Solaris platforms, but also on other platforms that they might have throughout their organisations," says Geert de Witte, senior systems engineer at Sun Microsystems SA.
"By leveraging a scalable storage platform that is only a fraction of the cost of monolithic storage systems, Sun customers can scale capacity affordably, as requirements dictate," he says.
"Sun's storage business has grown dramatically over the past year, as we have delivered more competitive storage products for the Sun server platform.
"An increasing number of users, however, demand storage solutions that can support multiple server platforms and operating systems. This latest development expands Sun's potential and makes the Sun value proposition of centralised management and scalability at a fraction of the cost available to a much broader range of users," says de Witte.
