November 12, 2007 Sun Microsystems, Inc. (NASDAQ: JAVA) today announced 10 new customers that are storing vast amounts of digital content on the Sun StorageTek 5800, a new category of storage system optimized for large-scale storage of fixed data. A number of white papers and solution briefs are available. For example, the StorageSwitch FS Gateway solution provides standard file system interfaces for NFS, CIFS, WebDAV and FTP to any client or application on the network. This enables a client or an application to store objects on the Sun StorageTek 5800 system without the requirement of developing to the API.
For the past 3 years, the EU-funded PrestoSpace consortium has collaborated on technical solutions and integrated systems for digital preservation of all types of audiovisual collections.
The StorageTek 5800 client SDK free download comes with an emulator that enables you to test client applications without having to connect to a StorageTek 5800 server, and provides client APIs for Java and C to store and retrieve data and to store, retrieve, query, and delete metadata records.
