Re: Z/800 IFL W/O VM using SANS and/or Oracle
I have been a STK customer for a long time (since the mid 70's). My
first STK RAID-5 box was before ESCON.

The compression feature is part of the Log-Structured-File (LSF) system,
and is not a bolt-on for RAID-5. LSF makes this and other things
possible, such as snapshot copy and virtual volumes. One of my favorite
little pluses is what the marketing guys call "self tuning" -- you don't
have to worry anymore about volume placement and hot array drawers. The
subsystem handles it.
My point throughout is that LSF is a *very* different beast from one's
garden-variety RAID box, and that referring to STK DASD as "RAID-5" is
little more descriptive than saying it contains hard drives.

Over the years since there first pure RAID-5 box STK has made many incremental improvements. The improvements have been in the areas of reliability by adding additional parity to the original RAID-5. The compression algorithms that they added have helped capacity. They have also greatly improved performance.
