Sun Microsystems is turning over object-based storage development for its SAM-QFS file system to the OpenSolaris community in a move away from the OSD standard.

Sun Microsystems (NASDAQ: JAVA) is turning over object-based storage (OSD) development for its SAM-QFS file system to the OpenSolaris community, dealing a setback to OSD adoption efforts.
Sun will continue to pursue internal object storage development for the block-based ZFS and object-based Lustre file systems and the ADM hierarchical storage management system (HSM), but Lustre doesn't use the standard ANSI T10 OSD interface.
