"One of the chief benefits of the OpenSolaris community is that it is open to contribution from innovators of all kinds," said Simon Phipps, Chief Open Source Officer at Sun Microsystems, Inc. "By extending the benefits of this simple and open storage protocol Coraid is making a welcome contribution that parallels our own efforts to reduce the cost and complexities associated with modern IT centres worldwide."
Coraid sells its AoE storage products under the brand name EtherDrive, which lowers the cost of a SAN to less than $0.93/GB. AoE is a non-routed protocol. By eliminating the overhead of TCP/IP, there is no need for expensive ToE (TCP/IP off-loan Engine) cards or HBAs (Host Bus Adapters). AoE delivers a scalable, low cost alternative to iSCSI and FibreChannel.
