This is great news, which means that Solaris as a storage and compute node platform can gain acceptance in the HPC world. No doubt Sun's experience with the TACC deployment might have urged this along. I welcome it. However, I have to wonder how Lustre fits in with the existing QFS product and, more importantly, the ongoing pNFS project. I suppose, as far as Solaris goes, Lustre support will be complementary so Solaris would fit in to places which already invest in Lustre... but pNFS will be the preferred choice? /dale
