Some recent blog links relating to Fishworks:

• Brendan showed a Sun Storage 7410 reaching about 2 Gbytes/sec for a DRAM cached read NFS workload, and showed that this may not even be the limit.
• An Analytics usage example was posted, showing why JBOD I/O latency can be useful to check.
• Brendan and Bryan have posted a video of some bizarre disk I/O latency.
• Kevin Burton, founder/CEO of Spinn3r has posted his thoughts on Fishworks, SSD, flash and high density storage.

Will Snow from sun.com has a few of our boxes, and has some simple examples of how to script the CLI. Ho ho ho!

A couple of cool blog posts from team Fishworks today:

• Cindi has captured the Fishworks project as a visualized Code Swarm. Check out her blog for all the details.
• Adam has written a lengthy post on the virtues of the Hybrid Storage Pool using flash as a cache as contrasted with the use of flash as a replacement for hard drives.
• Late Addition: Brendan has posted some remarkable performance numbers and provides some useful pointers when evaluating performance.

Also of note is a blog post from Gene Ruth at the Burton Group:

Turns out Sun uses SSDs tailored both for write performance to handle an internal logging function and then read optimized SSD to act essentially as a really large cache. All wrapped around their open-source ZFS file system hidden within the storage subsystem. Sun is demonstrating technology leadership by tightly integrating SSD technology into a complete storage subsystem - yes others have done a pluggable replacement for a HDD, but that's fairly obvious and less then optimal.
