Sun Adds 9985 to StorEdge Line

Posted on: Saturday, 3 September 2005, 03:00 CDT

Sun Microsystems Inc. is now shipping the new Sun StorEdge 9985 system, a scaled-down version of the Sun StorEdge 9990 system, Sun's leading data-centerclass platform for large-scale consolidation and mission-critical data availability.

The new system extends Sun's portfolio of storage systems, and furthers Sun's strategy of making it easier for customers to migrate from proprietary technology, protect existing storage investments and simplify data management.

This strengthens the Sun StorEdge portfolio of storage and data management platforms, which includes the Sun StorEdge 6920 system, the industry's first modular storage array to bring virtualization capabilities and data services to the midrange market at a very competitive price.

The Sun StorEdge 9985 system, a follow-on to the existing Sun StorEdge 9970 system, runs the same software and microcode as the Sun StorEdge 9990 system, ensuring full compatibility and simple integration. The system targets Sun StorEdge 9900 customers who are implementing large-scale consolidation projects, disaster recovery plans, business continuity initiatives and information lifecycle management strategies, as it provides features like heterogeneous storage management and mainframe connectivity.
