 "Oracle Announces Its Third-Generation Sun ZFS Storage Appliances")
Oracle’s third-generation Sun ZFS Storage Appliances include significant enhancements to its industry-leading Hybrid Storage Pool technology which accelerates IOPS performance and enables customers to maintain optimal performance under heavy utilisation.
With Hybrid Columnar Compression support for Oracle’s Sun ZFS Storage Appliances, customers using Oracle’s NAS systems to manage the lifecycle of data using in-database archiving for OLTP databases and data warehouses will be able to increase storage efficiency by 10x to 50x for most datasets, and reduce capital and operating expenses.
The only NAS product engineered together with Oracle software, the Sun ZFS Storage Appliance is integrated with Oracle Applications, Oracle Fusion Middleware, and Oracle Database, and is optimised for Oracle VM and the Oracle Exadata Database Machine.
The Sun ZFS Storage Appliance product line combines an innovative architecture, breakthrough storage analytics and best-in-class management to deliver maximum value to NAS customers.
“The extreme performance in our SPC-1 results was driven by Oracle’s innovative Hybrid Storage Pool architecture and demonstrates the power of integrated hardware and software,” said Phil Bullinger, Senior Vice President, Storage, Oracle. “Deep integration between Oracle Solaris, ZFS and our patented automated tiering software helps eliminate performance bottlenecks and makes the ZFS Storage Appliance the clear choice for enterprise-class NAS,” he added.
In addition to capacity-optimised disk drives, Oracle’s latest Sun ZFS Storage Appliances also feature 15,000 RPM SAS-2 drives with 300GB and 600GB capacity, which accelerate non-cached reads and high-volume synchronous writes and enable customers to run both databases and applications that stream large amounts of data faster and with fewer resources.
