Overview
For midrange to enterprise computing,
the Sun StorEdge[tm] T3 array for the enterprise offers a flexible, scalable
approach to growing storage while reducing total cost of ownership. Full
redundancy helps ensure that no single failure inhibits data availability.
Two high-performance RAID controllers provide dual fibre-channel interfaces,
each accessing a separate array of nine disk drives. Should a controller
fail, the alternate controller provides access to all 18 drives. In addition,
each controller has its own cache, delivering up to 2 GB of memory for fast
access to frequently accessed data. Recently written information is mirrored
in cache on both controllers, providing extra prevention against data loss.
The Sun StorEdge T3 array for the enterprise delivers outstanding three-way
scalability of capacity, performance and availability. As capacity scales,
additional cache provides consistent high performance, while additional
data paths and redundancy increase availability. Additional capabilities
can also be added through firmware download or controller upgrades for outstanding
investment protection.
