Translation for this page

This Storage Community acts as an umbrella for the OpenSolaris storage and data management related communities and projects—everything from file sharing, file systems, volume managers, data services, storage drivers, and many others.

The importance of OpenSolaris as a storage operating system has really emerged with the new and updated storage features, such as ZFS, NFS, pNFS, Shared QFS, Storage Archive Manager, Honeycomb fixed content management, Availability Suite, iSCSI, etc. OpenSolaris is now being embedded in storage appliances or used on hybrid server/storage devices to manage very large collections of data.

Attention Check out our Community Spotlight page to discover how community members benefit from participation in OpenSolaris.
