Storage Solution by Sun
From: www.sun.com
Project Honeycomb started because of the lack of affordable, high availability, scalable storage. This solution was developed based on pages of customer reviews individually assessed by 20 storage experts with the ability to make quick decisions, design with simplicity and deliver a product that pleases the customer. Specifically it manages “large collections of reference data” at relatively low cost with simplicity designed in the installation and management and the ability to grow over time with ease. As the storage capacity is added “more processors join the cluster to work parallel on search, retrieval, scrubbing and data rebuild tasks”.
