Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance ZS9-2

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).
