Yesterday I gave a presentation at Community One on Storage. Sun has just recently announced it's OpenStorage Initiative. Part of that technology is a project called COMSTAR. The presentation I did talked through the way to create a multiprotocol storage device. This used ZFS to export things using NFS and CIFS, but to also use COMSTAR to export over fiber channel. In the future COMSTAR will support iSCSI, iSER, FCoE and SAS. It is a really unique technology that will challenge the current market of disk arrays.
