Sun open sources SAM-QFS technology
 
Sun continues to execute against its strategy to open source all of its software. As a result, Sun is changing the storage marketplace. Sun's software is open, and with these source contributions, Solaris and OpenSolaris are well positioned as storage OS's.

Storage developers and deployers interested in these technologies will find more than just access to the source when they participate in the OpenSolaris storage community. They will find an open source community focused entirely on storage. The OpenSolaris storage software stack includes: file systems, file sharing protocols, archive policy management, replication, integrated device drivers, network interoperability software, and the tools and recipes needed to more easily deploy Solaris as a general purpose storage server or appliance.

I think Sun is working its hardest to try and swamp the media with all sorts of announcements, but I have to admit I love it! :)

Any company that open sources its technologies and promotes developers and coders to have a go at it will always receive my support.

as long as it doesn't reduce their profits.... if they give away all their software and are left without anything to make money from, how will they survive?
