High-Performance Storage

This includes filesystem related options to improve performance when accessing data

• Intelligent blockbased readcache in RAM (ARC Cache).
  Free RAM above 1-2GB that is not needed by the OS is used as high-performance readcache. On many current Solaris derivates you can use up to 128 GB system-RAM automatically as readcache. With more RAM some distributions may have performance problems. It is quite usual to deliver more than 90% of all reads from Ramcache.
• Extend the Readcache to SSDs (L2ARC, Hybrid Storage).  If RAM is not enough you can extend readcache by SSDs. Not as fast as RAM-bases Cache but faster than reading from disks. The new Intel NVMe P-series of SSDs offer an extreme L2ARC performance.
  
• Write-cache ("multiple small random write to one large sequential write conversion"). ZFS collects about 5s of last writes on current  distributions and does a single and fast sequential write.
  
• Sync Write Logdevice (ZIL). ZFS allows optionally a secure sync write behaviour. A "Commit" means that data is on storage and not lost in a cache on a powerfailure. To avoid a very low performance of sync-write, you can add a high-performance logdevice, either Dram-based like a ZeusRAM or a fast write optimized SSD like a Intel S3700. Size up from 8GB is mostly enough as you only need to hold about 10s of writes.
  

Includes options on a service level for example:

• Kernelbased and in ZFS integrated high performance CIFS Server on Solaris-Derivates
  Klick and Run Integration of AD-Support, Windows ACL, Windows SIDs and Snaps as Previous Version.
  Zero config, Switch to on - no special config file to edit, everything is in ZFS
  
• In ZFS integrierted high performance NFS Server on Solaris-Derivaten
  
• High Performance iSCSI Stack (Comstar) on Solaris-Derivaten 
• High Performance Networkstack with virtual Nics, Switches or vlans (Crossbow)
• Quality of service, Bandwith Control
  

Includes options on OS/ management level

• All from one hand. Beside OSX and Windows, Solaris and its derivates gives you all what is needed for a complete Storage OS from one hand (Oracle/ Illumos) without the need or help of special distributions compared to Linux.
  
• Installation on Standard Hardware with Web Management GUI within a few minutes
  
• Data and Pool Migration to any hardware (no special disk controller or filesystem) within minutes
  
• High Speed Replikationof filesystems over the network
