Endless data growth is challenging todavs IT infrastructures and ever -increasing data
management complexity. IT managers are forced to scale their storage capacity while still
delivering high performance and staying within firm IT budgets. Oracle can help ease this
pain by offering t unified storage solutions that optimizes performance with Hybrid Storage
Pools (HSPs), optimizes capacity with data compression and deduplication, and delivers
agile storage deployment and management all at a cost that redefines the economics of
storage. Oracles Sun ZFS Storage appliances help simplify storage deployment and
management with its unprecedented easy-to-use administration and analytic. These features
enable you to quickly find and fix issues, minimize downtime, and reduce deployment time
and cost.


Figure 1. The Sun ZFS Storage Appliance family helps simplify storage deployment and management
with its unprecedented easy-to-use management interface, DTrace Analytics, and self-healing
capabilities.
Meeting Today`s IT Challenges
Storage requirements are exploding for databases, unstructured content, and data protection
(along with more restrictive SLA`s). One of the unique requirements oI today`s
virtualization, consolidation, data protection, database, and fixed media serving is that they
must provide both high performance and the ability to preserve and manage large volumes of

file-based data. IT managers are being asked to continuously meet these growing storage
capacity needs on flat or declining IT budgetsall while continuing to support high service
levels for more and more users.
Sun ZFS Storage Appliances
The Sun ZFS Storage appliances are a family of unified storage systems that offers new
innovations in storage, including enterprise-class data services, massive scale, and industry
leading performance while delivering significant cost savings. These systems feature a
common, easy-to-use management interface that requires no additional training, and have the
industry`s most comprehensive analytics environment to help isolate and resolve issues to
minimize impact to your business. An advanced HSP design automatically optimizes
performance and helps lower power and cooling requirements, enabling the Sun ZFS Storage
Appliances to deliver break-through performance while radically simplifying the way you
manage your storage.
Storage That Is Easy to Deploy, Analyze, and Optimize
Provisioning and management is dramatically simplified in Sun ZFS Storage appliances
through the easy-to-use browser user interface (BUI) management that takes the guesswork
out of system installation, configuration, and tuning.

storage
DTrace Analytics soItware provides the industry`s only comprehensive and intuitive
analytics environment. Administrators have all of the tools they need to quickly identify and
diagnose system performance issues, perform capacity planning, and debug live storage and
networking problems before they become challenging for the entire network. The real-time
analysis and monitoring functionality is based on the award-winning DTrace technology and

also include
the
comprehensi
ve self-healing
capabilities of
Oracle`s Fault Management Architecture (FMA). FMA automatically and silently detects
and diagnoses underlying system problems and automatically responds by taking faulty
components offline.

Performance and Scalability to Meet Your Business Needs
To deliver high performance using cost-effective components, the Sun ZFS Storage
Appliance file system, Oracle Solaris ZFS, seamlessly optimizes access to the different types
of media as part of the HSPs. Oracle Solaris ZFS was designed to automatically recognize
different I/O patterns and place data in the best storage media for optimal performance.
For example, Oracle Solaris ZFS transparently executes writes to low-latency SSD media so
that writes can be quickly acknowledged, allowing the application to continue processing.
Oracle Solaris ZFS then automatically flushes the data to high-capacity drives as a
background task. Another type of SSD media acts as a cache to reduce read latency, and
Oracle Solaris ZFS also transparently manages the process of copying frequently accessed
data into this cache to seamlessly satisfy read requests from clients.
Scalability in Multiple Dimensions
Unlike traditional storage architectures, Oracle`s UniIied Storage Systems support scalability
in multiple dimensions with the ability to scale I/O throughput, processor performance, and
total storage capacity to meet your application needs. As application requirements change, IT
managers can choose to
Increase resources by adding more CPU, cache, I/O.
Expand total capacity by adding enterprise-class high capacity disk shelf units
Increase performance using additional flash to buffer storage reads or writes
Easy on Your Budget
Oracle`s UniIied Storage Systems deliver higher perIormance at costs lower than traditional
storage solutions by using cost-effective components and providing a rich set of built-in

software features. While many other vendors charge license fees for protocols and data
services such as CIFS, NFS, HTTP, deduplication, and replication, these and other software
features are included in the price of the Unified Storage Systems. No additional software
licenses are required. Administrative overhead associated with managing licenses is also
avoided. The systems also offer economic value by reducing energy consumption and data
center space requirements. Energy efficiency is improved through the use of 7200 RPM
drives and flash, both of which require significantly less power to operate than 15K RPM
drives.
A Range of Configurations
To meet a variety of customer needs for capacity, price, and performance, the Sun ZFS
Storage Appliances come in four different configurations plus two cluster configurations that
offers maximum availability.
All non-clustered systems come bundled with the same software including data protocols,
replication, compression, and DTrace Analytics software for system troubleshooting and
performance optimization. Clustered systems include an additional software module for
cluster features.
Sun ZFS Storage 7120 appliance
This entry-level, easy-to-install storage appliance is ideal for small and medium businesses,
departments, and or remote offices of large corporations. It includes the same feature rich
software as the high-end configurations, and delivers 12 TB to 120 TB of raw capacity using
7200 RPM SAS drives with 96GB Write cache. With the Sun Storage 7120 appliance,
customers can acquire easy-to-use enterprise data management functionality at entry-level
costs.
Sun ZFS Storage 7320 appliance
The Sun ZFS Storage 7320 redefines mid-range storage for the enterprise, with simplified
management, performance, efficiency, and seamless expansion to meet your growing needs.
It provides a high-availability cluster option with scalability up to 192 TB raw capacity, and
supports the HSP that can be configured with up to 4 TB of read-cache and optional write-
optimized cache for enhanced application performance.
Sun ZFS Storage 7420 appliance
This unified storage system gives a competitive advantage to data intensive businesses, and
is uniquely designed for virtualized environments requiring multiple data services, and
heterogeneous file sharing. It is available in a single or cluster configuration, offers
simplified storage management and over 1 PB of raw capacity for extreme scalability. The
Sun ZFS Storage 7420 system also delivers superior performance while reducing energy
consumption with its HSP architecture.

includes the same, all inclusive data services for simplified storage management and will
initially scale to 720 TB. All configurations are delivered fully clustered, with starting
capacities of 240 TB, and maximum number of CPUs and backend I/O. And finally, this
unique architecture is not only designed with space efficiency, it also features an energy
saving cooling system to reduce power and cooling costs.
Cluster Configurations
For customers that require maximum protection against downtime, the Sun ZFS Storage
7320 and 7420 systems also support a two-node cluster configuration with no single point of
failure. The Sun Storage 7720 ships with cluster configuration by default. The Sun ZFS
Storage 7320 and 7420 Cluster Systems feature active-active architecture with no single
