2007 DMA Conference

I just returned from the annual Sun Data Management Ambassadors conference, a gathering of 100 of the best international customer facing storage engineers at Sun. 6 days of intensive engineering, roadmap and executive presentations. All I can say is WOW, fasten your seat belts and clear some rack space, we're in for a wild and market disrupting ride for the future of storage at Sun. Year after year hearing where we're headed with our storage platforms is an exciting adventure and this year is the most exciting plans I've seen. More to come on this subject as we move forward.

I've gotten real sick of sour grapes from naysayers about our storage. It's time we see the road littered with out competitors products. AND It sure will be!

Every storage sales call I go on my goals are simple: BEAT THE COMPETITION. How can I say this? Take a look at ZFS a brilliant file system packed full of features.

No more volume managers necessary.

Take a look at what we're doing with our Open Solaris Storage Initiative.

See all about x4500 Thumper and our 5800 Honeycomb

ZFS, x4500, and where we're going has changed our rerality!

We're open THEY ARE NOT!

From the low-end of our disk storage offerings to the high-end we have better products than any of our competitors (PERIOD!)
