Given the storage needs created by the explosion of digital data coupled with the demands of preservation/archiving, the challenging question in the solution architecture is that of an appropriate fixed content data storage system that can be easily integrated with applications such as the Fedora Commons framework. The Sun StorageTek 5800 system ("Honeycomb") is an answer to that challenge — a new 3rd generation, highly interoperable, fixed content storage system that offers scalability, security, reliability, data integrity and an embedded metadata system built on open standards.
