Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance is a high performance, enterprise storage system that is optimized for Oracle workloads and cloud integration. It is a unified storage system that allows customers to consolidate file, block, and object storage on a single platform. Oracle ZFS combines high all-flash performance with petabytes of storage capacity, allowing customers to run all workloads at peak speed. Built-in Oracle Database integrations, including automated prioritization of database IOs, enable IT departments to optimize workload performance and reduce administration to achieve low total cost of ownership (TCO).
Automation reduces administrator workloads
Oracle Intelligent Storage Protocol (OISP) enables ZFS Storage Appliance to automate storage setup and tuning based on database-specific information, reducing storage administrator workloads by up to 70%.
Database IO prioritization reduces latency
ZFS Storage Appliance uses OISP to prioritize Oracle Database IOs accelerating customer workloads.
Cache management accelerates database backups
Automatic management of storage caches using OISP-provided information enables ZFS Storage Appliance to reduce backup windows for customer databases.
Database compression increases capacity and throughput
Oracle Database Hybrid Columnar Compression (HCC) reduces storage capacity and load times for typical customer data warehouses by more than 90%, as discussed in the Oracle technical analysis (PDF).
