Sun’s new drool-worthy X4500 server packs up to 24TB (yeah, that’s a T) of storage in a 4U box. This type of architecture screams for ZFS filesystems. This sentiment is shared in a blog post by Johnathan Schwartz where he links to my ZFS article at Tech-Recipes. His post also has a great picture of the beast and links to video recaps of the product launch.

Free Solaris security cert exam beta registration
July 7th, 2006 — Sun, security, certs
For you Sun jocks out there, there is an open, free registration for the Sun Certified Security Administrator for Solaris 10 certification beta exam. If you’ve never taken a beta exam, be prepared: they are long. I’m guessing you get to answer every question they have, which makes sense. If you pass (and it’ll be a while before you find out, not instantly as with other exams), you’ll be officially certified, so it is a great opportunity. For details, see Sun’s official page.
