Solaris ZFS and Microsoft Server 2003 NTFS: File System Performance

Overview The Solaris 10 06/06 Operating System (OS) introduces a new data management technology - the Solaris ZFS file system. Replacing the traditionally separate file system and volume manager functionality found in most operating environments, Solaris ZFS provides immense capacity and performance coupled with a proven data integrity model and simplified administrative interface. This white paper explores the performance characteristics and differences of Solaris ZFS and the Microsoft Windows Server 2003 NTFS file system through a series of publicly available benchmarks, including BenchW, Postmark, and others.
