Sun Releases Unified Storage Appliances
Sun has relesed the Sun Storage 7000 series of unified storage systems. The systems use a "hybrid storage pool" consisting of solid state disks, hard disk drives, and RAM to improve performance -- and it's super easy to administer, sexy even. This is quite frankly what should be used as the yardstick by which all other Sun admin interfaces and appliances are judged. Oh and if you're wondering why I have this tagged as "Eco Computing" well these little appliances use less electricity (smaller carbon foot print) than other options. 
(AWESOME!)
The Sun Storage 7110 has 8GB of RAM and provides 2TB of storage in a 2U form factor.
The Sun Storage 7210 provides up to 44TB of storage in a 4U form factor.
The Sun Storage 7410 scales up to 576TB with multiple expansion arrays.
In addition, Sun has released a simulator for the units as a VMWare virtual machine image. My only wish was that they had release the simulator using VirtualBox.
