As data volumes continue to grow, organizations struggle to deliver fast and reliable information access while containing costs. Unfortunately, many storage solutions today are proprietary, complex, and expensive. Recognizing the need for easy-to-manage, eco-friendly, and scalable storage solutions that deliver exceptional business value, Sun created the Sun™ Storage 7000 Unified Storage Systems. These systems incorporate an open-systems approach that selects the best general-purpose servers and storage components, combines them with innovative technologies, and unifies them with storage software. As a result, these systems offer significant cost savings while providing enterprise-class data services, good scalability, and superior performance.

For MySQL™ database applications, the Sun Storage 7000 Unified Storage Systems meet a range of functional requirements for availability, capacity, and performance. This paper demonstrates how the Sun Storage 7000 series family of unified storage systems can be used to share NFS and iSCSI file systems with MySQL database servers deployed on Sun SPARC® and x86 servers running the Solaris™ or Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 5.2 operating systems. In addition, this paper documents how the built-in snapshot, clone, and rollback functionality of the Sun Storage 7000 unified storage systems can be used in conjunction with the MySQL database on these platforms.
