Speculation Abounds as Sun-Oracle Wedding Day Nears

[ Thanks to Paul

“Sun, of course, has a wide range of storage and file
system technologies in its toolkit. Much of that is open source
— ZFS, Lustre and Sam-QFS. There is some debate in the open
source community about just how open these technologies are due to
licensing terms that differ from Linux tradition. OpenSolaris,
though, is 100 percent out there in the open source community.

“These file systems include a local file system (ZFS), an
enterprise-class scalable file system (QFS), a hierarchical storage
management system (Sam) and a scalable high-performance parallel
file system (Lustre). All of these products integrate well with Sun
Solaris and OpenSolaris. Sun also has a monitoring tool called
Dtrace.”
