Oracle announced Sun ZFS Storage Appliances

 

Oracle has announced its third-generation Sun ZFS Storage Appliances, which offer enterprise NAS functionality, and best-in-class performance, efficiency, data integrity and integration with Oracle software. Demonstrating definitive performance leadership in the NAS market, Oracle's Sun ZFS Storage 7420 Appliance delivered 2x the performance at less than half the cost per SPC-1 IOPS of NetApp's FAS 3270A on the SPC-1 benchmark.

 

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 utilization.

 

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 optimized 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. Oracle's Sun ZFS Storage Appliance storage analytics enable users to pinpoint and resolve storage bottlenecks up to twice as fast as NetApp, reducing storage administration costs by up to 36 percent, according to third-party analysis by the Edison Group, documented in "Gaining Business Advantage Through Storage Management Efficiency with Oracle's Sun ZFS Storage Appliance."

 

"Oracle is changing the dynamics of the NAS market in a single step, giving enterprise customers a quantum leap in achievable performance and efficiency. Third generation software, third generation disk drives, and unique Oracle integration like Hybrid Columnar Compression on the Sun ZFS Storage Appliance enable Oracle storage customers to achieve business results and reduce cost at levels other NAS solutions can’t match," said John Fowler, executive vice president, Systems, Oracle.

 

"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. 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," said Phil Bullinger, senior VP, Storage, Oracle.

 

In addition to capacity-optimized 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.
