Nonprofit vendor consortium the Open Solutions Alliance (OSA) made good on its April promise to deliver a prototype demonstrating interoperability between open-source and proprietary business applications in time for LinuxWorld this week.

He's also chief technology officer at founding consortium member BI (business intelligence) software vendor JasperSoft.

Three Areas of Upgrade
StorNext has been upgraded in three core areas. Data Reduction Storage (DRS) is a specialized disk tier that incorporates de-duplication. DRS tunes data reduction to a specific data set and increases the likelihood that very high levels of data reduction can be achieved. DRS is established on a local StorNext volume attached to the MetaData Controller (MDC), which serves as the traffic cop handling disk allocation as well as client side buffering so that when multiple clients are reading or writing to/from the same file, they all see the same content. This architecture guarantees high throughput at FC speed rather than LAN speed. Data De-duplication reduces a customers data footprint, saves money by lowering capacity requirements and enables data to be retained on fast recovery disk for a much longer period of time, says Nathan Moffitt, StorNext product manager at Quantum.
