Hi There,
I found an older (about 1 1/2 year) german article about OpenSolaris as Storage
solution.
There was namend the "Fishworks Appliance Kit with OpenSolaris" and that this
is a free Sun-Project for building a fileserver.
But I cant find any informations about this in the web.
Could someone help me out?
Thanx
Henri
I doubt you will find any. The Fishworks code was used to build the
proprietary Analytics interface used with Sun's 7000 series storage
products. The code is proprietary, and is unlikely to ever be open
sourced as it is part of the "secret sauce" for those products.
Of course, internally, these products use OpenSolaris, and in theory it
is possible for someone else to build their own interfaces on top of
OpenSolaris to create fully open-source file servers. Although, trying
to reproduce the impressive Analytics UI and observability features
would require a rather non-trivial amount of highly technical work.
