Oracle has confirmed it is adding new capabilities to its Sun Storage 7000 Unified Storage System products.
The new features include built in inline data deduplication, inline compression, support for four and 8Gbit/sec Fibre Channel protocols and multiple storage pools.
The boxes also house new 1 and 2TB SAS disk drives, doubling the capacity of the current systems to a maximum of 576TB.
Oracle claimed the updates will improve capacity, availability and enable the devices to be part of Fibre Channel storage area networks (SANs).
"We are committed to providing a complete, open and integrated storage portfolio that reduces costs and simplifies storage management without compromising on performance," said Mike Shapiro, vice president of Storage at Oracle.
"Oracle's Sun Storage products, and specifically the Sun Storage 7000 Unified Storage product line, deliver innovative technologies and breakthrough economics for modern data centre requirements such as private clouds, storage consolidation, and data protection."
Oracle has just completed its first quarter with Sun Microsystems fully integrated into the company.
The results were impressive, with Sun contributing approximately $400 million to operating profits, and the company is well on course to reach its target of $1.5 billion of contributions in 2011.
