January, 2008 is working out to a great start to the New Year!  We have the following updates in relation to Sun Cluster and 3rd party Storage offerings.

We've increased the NetApp NAS configuration from 32 to 48 nodes, effective this week. This is a significant step with the goal of ultimately supporting 62 nodes, which we hope to have support for in the future. We've also included the "M" Series high end servers to the NetApp matrix. The servers included are the M4000, M5000, M8000 and the M9000 Sun Sparc based OPL based platforms. They are "All" now supported on Sun Cluster 3.2.

We are also happy to report that we've included a "New" storage array in the product offerings from NEC; the D3 and D8 Arrays. More information can be found at http://www.nec.co.jp/necstorage/global/product/san/d3_10/index.html
