Re: [zfs-discuss] Sun Flash Accelerator F20

[Trevor Pretty]

Oracle use Linux :-( But on the positive note have a look at this:-  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rmrxN3GWHpM It's Ed Zander talking to Larry and asking some great questions. 29:45 Ed asks what parts of Sun are you going to keep ----- all of it! 45:00 Larry's rant on Cloud Computing    ----   "the cloud is water vapour!" 20:00 Talks about Russell Coutts (a good kiwi bloke) and the America's cup if you don't care about anything else. Although they seem confused about who should own it, Team New Zealand are only letting the Swiss borrow it for a while until they loose all our top sailors, like Russell and we win it back, once the trimaran side show is over :-) Oh and back on topic..... Anybody found any info on the F20. I've a customer who wants to buy one and on the partner portal I can't find any real details (Just the Facts, or SunIntro, onestop for partner page would be nice) Trevor Enda O'Connor wrote: Richard Elling wrote: On Sep 24, 2009, at 12:20 AM, James Andrewartha wrote: I'm surprised no-one else has posted about this - part of the Sun Oracle Exadata v2 is the Sun Flash Accelerator F20 PCIe card, with 48 or 96 GB of SLC, a built-in SAS controller and a super-capacitor for cache protection. http://www.sun.com/storage/disk_systems/sss/f20/specs.xml At the Exadata-2 announcement, Larry kept saying that it wasn't a disk. But there was little else of a technical nature said, though John did have one to show. RAC doesn't work with ZFS directly, so the details of the configuration should prove interesting. isn't exadata based on linux, so not clear where zfs comes into play, but I didn't see any of this oracle preso, so could be confused by all this.
