Infoworld reviews the Sun Storage 7210

Thursday, February 19. 2009

Paul Venezia wrote an really positive review of the Sun Storage 7210 in "Test Center: Sun's stellar NAS in a can":

The market for multilingual filers has plenty of players, from NetApp to Adaptec, but in terms of bang for the buck, Sun's 7210 is in rare territory. Regardless of price, son of Thumper is a uniquely complete representation of what a filer should be.

Still wondering, why Sun isn't publishing SPEC SFS97 results for the 7410 http://www.spec.org/sfs97r1/results/sfs97r1.html

Because SFS is largely a nonsensical benchmark ... Bryan Cantrill wrote a great article about it: http://blogs.sun.com/bmc/entry/eulogy_for_a_benchmark

I wonder if this product is another stab in the dark for Sun. Given its track record of dead storage offerings, I wonder what the lifespon of this product will be before a user is forced to do a data migration.

I suspect one of the reasons Sun doesn't do a Spec benchmark is because it can't compete in performance.
