Sun Storedge 9990 Array Frame ... application-oriented solution that matches IT to business requirements, improving efficiencies, simplifying management, increasing return in investment (ROI), and reducing total cost of ownership (TCO). The Sun StorEdge 9990 system represents the third generation of the industry-leading Sun StorEdge 9900 series, and it provides the highest levels of performance and availability for large mission-critical environments.

The heart of the Sun StorEdge 9990 system is the Hi-Star crossbar switch, which provides levels of storage consolidation previously unattainable in the industry, and enables the virtualization of both internal and external heterogeneous storage in a single storage system. This helps to reduce TCO by enabling connections to multiple hosts, and allows for more flexibility in configuring a storage-area network (SAN) infrastructure.

The storage system is easy to operate and control and helps simplify data management. Software is available to support key storage applications typically used in data center environments, including path management, real-time replication, and remote mirroring for disaster recovery.
