My storage team and I focus on three of the most important aspects in any industry: customers, competitors and market trends. There is insight to gain and share in this role, so here is our take on Sun and Storage - Taylor Allis
Game-changing Storage Economics
In the open systems VTL space, EMC is the
leader in market share. (Sun leads in the Mainframe space btw). How can Sun compete? Answer - By changing the
Economics at the infrastructure level. See below:
| Product | Capacity | Software | H/W Platform | Power Consumption | Rack Size |
| EMC DL210 | 24 TB | FalconStor | 1 Server, 48 SATA drives | 1,315 Watts | 15U |
| Sun VTL Value | 24 TB | FalconStor | 1 X4500 | 1,100 Watts (16% less) | 4U (73% less!) |
This is an example I use because both EMC and Sun (and IBM for that matter) use the same software - FalconStor.
So, wouldn't you take a closer look at a product that offers similar functionality at 16% less power consumption in 73% less space?

Taylor,
What de-duplication software is available on the Sun VTL? Are you open to offering more than one de-duplication approach? How does de-duplication change the metrics?
