Scalability White Papers

ZFS, Sun's Cutting-Edge File System (Part 1: Storage Integrity, Security, and Scalability)

Overview Sun's recent addition to the Solaris 10 06/06 Operating System, ZFS, is an innovative ground-up redesign of the traditional UNIX file system. Even though it's still early in its life cycle, ZFS has made such an impact that other UNIX vendors and open source enthusiasts have already intimated their plans to port it to their own operating systems. With ZFS, Sun addresses the important issues of integrity and security, scalability, and difficulty of administration that often plague other UNIX file systems. This two-part series will examine the behind-the-scenes workings of ZFS and how this can translate into a savings of time and money for the organization. This paper discusses the data integrity and security model and ZFS scalability.
