HP Single Filesystem Cluster ExDS9100


HP anounces a highly scalable storage system named ExDS9100 (Extreme Data Storage System). ExDS9100 can scale to 246 petabytes using HP’s C-Class 16 Blades 12.8 cores per unit for an 3.2 GB/second of raw performance all managed with a single management interface.


HP's PolyServe software (acquired in February 2007) is at the heart of the single filesystem.


HP predicts it will cost less than US$2 per gigabyte in a typical configuration.
