Absolutt meget spennende dette ja, og det virker som Sun vil tilby Opteron-løsninger for det aller meste :thumbup:

A single Honeycomb won't have that much storage: sixteen 250GB drives offers 4TB. A rack of 14 of the 3U units would offer 56TB and they would need to have high-speed interconnections. In a recent announcement, Sun and Topspin said they will offer integrated utility computing systems that include Topspin's intelligent fabric products and Sun's AMD Opteron-based systems. Servers can be linked together into high performance grids with a virtualized network, storage connectivity and applications provisioned on demand.

Nå venter vi bare på bladtjenere fra Sun...

InfoWorld røper flere detaljer om prosjekt "Honeycomb" her:

 

Honeycomb to sweeten Sun NAS line

At the heart of the new device is technology, called Project Honeycomb, which was originally developed in the company's research and development group, Sun Labs. Honeycomb uses new indexing and storage software designed to make it easier and quicker to search and retrieve files in large storage systems.

[...]

Though the final product configuration has yet to be determined, Sun has built one 3U (5.25-inch high) Honeycomb "shelf" that contains four server nodes, each running Advanced Micro Devices Inc. Opteron chips, and each with four 400GB ATA (advanced technology attachment) drives.

 

The Honeycomb software indexes the data on the storage appliances, essentially building a massive distributed database of information about the files. Honeycomb appliances can be networked together, giving users a way to index and search as much as a petabyte, or one million gigabytes, of storage.

 

The Sun researchers also wrote software that prevents data from being lost in the event of disk failure. They claim their approach is more efficient and easier to use than current RAID (redundant arrays of independent disks) products.

Meget spennende! :w00t:
