Sun StorEdge QFS software, formerly Sun StorEdge Performance Suite software, is a shared file system that improves quality of service and utilization of SAN infrastructures. It delivers maximum scalability, data management, and throughput for the most data-intensive applications, optimizing the data path across your infrastructure and enabling the convergence of SAN and NAS technologies. With nearly raw device access to information and data consolidation for read/write file sharing, QFS helps to boost productivity and eliminate administrative overhead.
