A four-page brochure from Sun makes a case for using the Sun Storage 7000 family for consolidating oracle databases in these sections:

• The Challenge
• Breakthrough Simplicity, Performance, and Savings
• The Ideal Platform for Database Consolidation
• Breakthrough Data Placement: Hybrid Storage Pools (HSP)
• Breakthrough System Monitoring: Analytics
• Breakthrough Data Protection: Self Healing Storage
• A Paradigm Shift in Scalability: Scale Any Aspect of the System
• Services and Support

Sun Storage 7000 Highlights

• Multi-protocol (NAS, iSCSI, CIFS) solution delivers superior performance and simplicity at up to 75% less cost than traditional solutions

• Unique Hybrid Storage Pools (HSPs) dramatically optimize database and application performance and reduce I/O bottlenecks with no administrator intervention via automatic and intelligent data placement across the storage hierarchy (DRAM, SDDs, and disk)

• Unique Analytics technology improves operational efficiencies by providing powerful insights into data storage workload requirements for proactive system troubleshooting, improved resource provisioning, and accurate capacity planning

• Fully integrated software and hardware stack includes a full suite of data services that are normally sold separately — eliminating add-on software license costs and license-key management complexity

• Included data services such as Snapshot and Clone enable creation of a nearly unlimited number of databases to support production, test and development, and Q&A requirements, while Thin Provisioning provides improved storage utilization by allocating physical space to the share or LUN as needed

• Simultaneous scaling in multiple dimensions — including capacity scaling from 4 TB to 288 TB (576 TB with 2 TB drives)

• enables optimization of database working sets with flexible provisioning of compute power, storage capacity, and performance resources

• Eco-efficient design reduces power consumption by up to 80% and space by up to 70%

• Open Storage architecture enables lower costs without sacrificing performance or reliability
