InfoWorld: Sun ZFS breaks all the rules

Posted by : Dr. Root | 21 June, 2007 | Published in

In a recent article and accompanying screencast, InfoWorld explains why ZFS is so powerful and easy to use, and why ZFS and the Sun Fire X4500 server, codenamed Thumper, are a perfect match...

"Soon after I started working with ZFS (Zettabyte File System), one thing became clear: the file system of the next 10 years will either be ZFS or something extremely similar. The fluidity, the malleability, and the scalability of ZFS far surpass anything available now on any platform. We're talking about a file system that can address 256 quadrillion zettabytes of storage, and that can handle a maximum file size of 16 exabytes."
