This are my favorites:
  • Migration/Copy from SD to another SD via Ethernet. Very interesting in desaster recovery (DR) szenarios.
  • Server side compression. Latest server systems have four, six (AMD/Intel) or eight (SUN Niagara 2) cores per processor. So a 2-4 processor system could have until 32 cores. A single Intel 2.33 GHz quadcore processor can compress data by software with about 60 MB/s (gzip, fastest compression, about 16 MB/s per compression thread). So a AMD/Intel four processor quadcore system can compress about 240 MB/s. A modern compression card (zlib compatible) can archive 500 MB/s (compress and decompress). So many harddisk storage can be saved.

Michael
