It's Here: The Groundbreaking ZFS Storage Appliance

ZFS

The ZFS offers a groundbreaking, easy way to manage and expand your storage environment at a lower cost, with more efficiency, better data integrity and higher performance when compared with EMC NAS offerings. Its architecture is built on cost-effective, high-performance components and a robust software stack, and requires little or no training to configure and administer thanks to an advanced set of management tools. It also includes the industry’s simplest and most comprehensive analytics environment, so you can troubleshoot and resolve issues fast, with the lowest possible investment of IT time. In fact, the management tools can save you more than a third in operating expenses vs. a comparable NetApp system.

In addition, hybrid storage pools (HSP) technology automatically and intelligently stores and migrates data to appropriate storage tiers based on usage, greatly benefiting virtualized environments. To top it all off, Oracle’s DTrace Analytics provides realtime statistics for throughput, capacity and utilization, enabling you to resolve storage bottlenecks twice as fast as EMC and ultimately reducing storage administration costs by as much as 36 percent. Yes, that was 36 percent.
