applications. It delivers market-leading performance for primary storage and is a cost-effective business continuity solution. Like all the other systems in the Sun Modular Storage family, the array is designed to deliver investment protection and data protection while applications evolve. The Sun Storage 6580 Array is also distinguished by high availability, extensive interoperability, easy manageability, and flexible scalability.
Details
The Sun Storage 6580 Array supports 256 drives, is upgradable, and is compatible with other members of the modular portfolio. Users can mix SATA and Fibre Channel drives to design a tiered storage environment with centralized management and integrated data services for business continuity.
Architected to provide high reliability and availability, the Sun Storage 6580 offers redundant components; automated I/O path failover; and extensive online configuration, reconfiguration, and maintenance capabilities designed to ensure that your data is available 24x7. In addition, RAID 6 technology guards against concurrent drive failures and errors and persistent cache backup to ensure that any data in cache is captured and safe in the event of a power outage.
The SMIS-compliant Sun Storage Common Array Manager (CAM) software is the array’s browser-based, application-oriented management interface. Accessible from anywhere with the use of a secure internet connection, the Sun Storage CAM software includes built-in performance tracking and automated diagnostics so users can focus on precise, predictable, and repeatable results.
