Taylor's Take on Sun Storage
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
If SL8500 were an iPod...
...it could store 14 billion songs!
We get asked for "fun or interesting facts" about the Storage Market
and our Products quite often. Facts that can be used in Presos, as ice
breakers, or simply show how fast data is growing. So, I thought I'd share some "Fun Storage
Facts" we found:
- 5 TBs of new digital content is created, stored or replicated every second!
- Just 1 Sun StorageTek SL8500 can backup all original TV
Programming for 1 Year...773 times?!?!
- The Sun StorageTek 9900 can store more than 1.7 million digital
photos
- The ST5320 NAS appliance can store 18 million e-mails
- It is faster to send a petabyte of data from San Francisco to Hong Kong by sailboat, than by the internet
- Or how about this...~12 exabytes of archived data reside on Sun StorageTek solutions (disk and tape). If this amount of data was stored on all EMC disk, it would consume 11.5 billion KWH/year - enough to power the entire city of San Jose!
