Sun StorEdge 9960 Data System Support Expertise

Independent Sun StorEdge 9960 Data System Support Expertise



Sun StorEdge 9960 Data SystemThe Sun StorEdge[tm] 9960 system allows massive storage expansion for the largest enterprise applications and large-scale consolidation. Customers will be able to easily handle the most demanding I/O loads; in fact, the system's internal bandwidth actually increases up to 6.4GB/sec as more array controllers and front-end channel adapters are added. So customers will be able to manage multitudes of terabytes for years to come.
