HoneyComb 1.1.1 Source Code Posted
The source code for the current Sun StorageTek 5800 1.1.1 (build 95) has been posted. This is for the 1.1.1 release candidate.
The Sun StorageTek 5800 System is the first integrated digital archive storage system that is powered by the Solaris Operating System (Solaris OS) and built using open source software.
“The popular Sun StorageTek 5800 ‘Honeycomb’ system has revolutionized the economics of storing, managing and archiving fixed content data,” Graham Lovell, senior director, storage servers and appliances, Sun, said when the original source code was initially released. “Sun now makes fixed content object storage free and open. We’ve donated the source code for this next-generation technology to help create communities that will more easily find answers to fixed-content data storage issues and save customers money over closed, proprietary technologies.”
Honeycomb Fixed Content Storage is an OpenSolaris project. This project proposes to manage large amounts of fixed content by providing an object-oriented storage system with traditional Java and C interfaces later expanded by a “StorageBean” Java interface. Large data-repository applications access the fixed content through these interfaces which are designed to manage data collections that can total up to 100 million objects or petabytes of storage.
