Nick Kloski and Alejandro Medrano have penned a Sun BluePrints Online article covering Sun's new reference architecture, the Open Network Systems for Internet Infrastructure, MySQL Edition. This reference architecture combines Sun Open Storage, high-performance networking and servers, open source software and Sun services into an integrated enterprise portal solution for Web and enterprise environments. This solution features Sun's Open Network Systems, next-generation Flash technology storage products, Sun's MySQL Enterprise Server, the Sun GlassFish Portfolio, the ZFS file system and a choice of OpenSolaris, Solaris, or Linux operating systems. This paper describes the hardware and software components of the reference architecture, studies the scalability of the architecture, and includes step-by-step directions for setup and configuration.
