Fexon Technology Ltd reports: Hewlett-Packard Co. introduced the content of the document for the mass
storage system can be expanded, the company claimed that this system will be
priced lower than two U.S. dollars / GB.
The system called HP StorageWorks 9100 Extreme Data Storage (ExDS9100), the
large equipment with a Hewlett-Packard's PolyServe software (in the February
2007 acquisition), BladeSystem chassis and blade servers to improve
performance, also known as the use of the " Block "of storage. These
blocks in the same container contains 82 1 TB of SAS drives. (HP did not
disclose which company the OEM drive.)
HP said that the basic ExDS9100 "initial package" includes four
BladeSystem blade, the maximum to support the throughput of 200 MB, plus three
storage block, can provide up to 246 TB of storage capacity (82 TB three
times). The new system can use 16 plus 10 blade storage block, providing 820 TB
of storage capacity.
HP said that 9100 was the lowest energy consumption of six kilowatts to eight
kilowatts, the highest energy consumption is 18 kilowatts to 20 kilowatts. The
maximum allocation of 9100 will account for 42 U of rack space and weighs about
2,100 pounds to 2,300 pounds.
This is massive storage space, the company expressed the need for the product
is some special vertical market companies in these markets, the company's
success depends on more and more Web 2.0 and digital media technology. For
example: oil and gas, genetic research, security and surveillance, and all use
of digital streaming media applications company - IPTV, video on demand,
broadcasting and social networking company.
At present, ExDS9100 no customers, the company said its retail picture is
Snapfis ancillary products as the product of the Design Center,
has three potential users of the ongoing trial. Hewlett-Packard said, Snapfish
currently has 35 million users, and the average monthly number of users to
increase to 100 million, to this time next year, will increase by 20 PB of
storage. NAS is a new tool to achieve this goal. (Fexon Technology Ltd)
ExDS9100 scheme will be listed this autumn. HP vowed to control prices in 15
U.S. dollars / GB, this is massive file system is usually the price. HP
StorageWorks NAS Division of the department, director of marketing Ian Duncan
said, "We will be in the price of two dollars / GB the following."
At that time, perhaps there will be some competitive solutions. EMC Corporation
(EMC) are also talking about their own massive cluster file system, code,
code-named "Maui", and its "Hulk" the combination of
hardware platforms have been a few months. Some people think that it will cloud
of EMC's actions are calculated to help. IBM also is ready BladeCenter
equipment, Tivoli
software, Linux, and a mainframe is said to the upcoming provided on the basis
of "Blue Cloud".
Enterprise Strategy Group analyst Mark Peters said that "each company will
do something in this area." He also said, "I found interesting is
that the first product from HP is even." He said that in Historically, HP
has entered a new hot market, has to wait a long time, sometimes even their
waiting time is too long. "HP first began operations. In all go home to
sleep, they even landed!"
Peters said that the success depends on the mass NAS maintain an appropriate
scale, even in storage after the expansion is still the case. "Their goal
is to maintain a very large, while still maintaining simple. Which is very
good. We do not need the most is a need to catch up with some kind of storage
expectations of the situation." (Fexon Technology Ltd)
HP has sown the seeds in the soil. Whether it can play their own definition of
the role of the market first, we need to wait and see, but other companies will
follow-up, which forced the suppliers to confirm that all on its own NAS
massive publicity.
