Oracle has released its next-generation Sun ZFS Storage Appliance product line, at its OpenWorld 2010 conference, being held in San Francisco.
“Oracle's Sun ZFS Storage Appliances have gained strong industry recognition with an innovative architecture that enables customers to cut their enterprise storage costs in half and speed application deployment,” said John Fowler, Oracle executive VP of server and storage systems.
He says the product offers 50% more performance, double the storage capacity and nearly three times more processing power than the previous generation, and increases integration with Oracle's business-critical applications.
The ZFS Storage Appliance product line includes management software and hybrid storage pool architecture that has been integrated with Oracle Applications, Oracle Fusion Middleware, Oracle Database, Oracle Solaris, Oracle Linux and Oracle VM.
The products deliver throughput, flexibility and ease of use that companies using storage for cloud computing, virtualisation, storage consolidation and data protection need, says Oracle.
The product line is made up of three data protection solutions for Oracle Applications: Oracle RMAN backup optimises backup with Sun ZFS Storage Appliances, Oracle Database Cloning increases database performance by integrating Sun ZFS Storage Appliances with Oracle Data Guard, and Oracle Fusion Middleware simplifies disaster recovery with ZFS Storage Appliances.
Oracle says, by using these products, companies can lower administrative costs by up to half and deploy applications faster.
“In addition, the Sun ZFS Storage 7720 Storage Appliance provides 1.6 times better storage density than other unified storage solutions.”
The product line ranges from entry-level configurations starting at 12TB to high-end systems that support over 1PB of storage capacity. All systems feature high-density discs and flash acceleration, says the company.
