Data ONTAP的由来

Data ONTAP的由来

在网上看到了一个比较好的关于Data ONTAP的由来的解释,共享一下。

------------------------------------
Is Data ONTAP Based On UNIX? - A customer recently asked, "Is Data ONTAP based on UNIX?" Complicated question.

The first version of Data ONTAP borrowed lots of code from Berkeley Net/2 (one of the earliest open-sourcereleases of UNIX), including the TCP/IP stack, system boot code, anddevice drivers. Since then, we've borrowed liberally from otheropen-source UNIX releases. We wrote the command line interface fromscratch, but we designed it to look like UNIX, since our first marketwas UNIX system administrators. Clearly, ONTAP is related to UNIX.

详见http://www.unixville.com/node/213
                       
简单的说:Data NTAP = Berkeley Net/2 + Open-source UNIX release的Lib + WAFL等NetApp自己的特性
还有一些区别于UNIX的地方,比如没有用户空间的概念等。

还以为改自freebsd呢

netapp的人也没说清楚,或者不愿意说?

Re

OnTAP GX 确实是基于FreeBSD的。上面的文章里面有写。

-----------------
Interestingly, our advanced ONTAP GX architecture is built on top of afull UNIX release. We took Data ONTAP, including WAFL and RAID,combined it with the new code from our Spinnaker acquisition, andhosted the combined result on FreeBSD in a combination of userprocesses and kernel modules. For security and simplicity we havedisabled and hidden many parts of FreeBSD.

看标题我还以为讲讲为啥起名叫DATA ONTAP呢!

反正就是个UNIX,算是开源+自己研发?

用freebsd另外一个好处就是不用遵循GPL
这样不用放出代码了

说实话,我也不知道为何叫做ONTAP。猜测一下:
open network target appliance platform

厉害,一直都没有研究过,只知道属于类Unix系统
