Q&A Highlights
Question: Differences Between Oracle ZFS5-2 and Oracle FS1-2
Answer: This question may be moot now. Oracle EOL'd FS1 and RIF'd most of the FS1 staff a while ago. While both ZFS (now ZFS7) and FS1 are/were unified storage systems, ZFS is primarily NAS; FS1 was primarily SAN with some QoS and multi-tenancy features and such.

Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It's actually shaking hands with the workflow solutions much better than any other storage."

More Oracle FS1 Flash Storage System Pros →

"The replication capability and data security have been the most valuable features.""Oracle ZFS is very fast and it is efficient. It has outperformed any hardware array controller that I've ever come across. With Oracle ZFS on my NAS, which is running five, four terabyte drives, when I've had a drive failure and changed one out, it'll rebuild that array in two hours, or maybe less. When you think you're rebuilding almost four terabytes of data redundancy, that's pretty good using an old AMD Turion hardware, that's nothing to complain about.""It is not necessarily for the fastest storage or cluster storage, but just for pure storage, it's really hard to beat. It's just been around as long as anything else."

Cons
"It has to be flexible according to the customer's requirements. It has to be aligned with the customer business and the business environment."

More Oracle FS1 Flash Storage System Cons →

"Oracle ZFS does what I've asked it to do, and it has done it very efficiently. The only time I'm running into issues is with Proxmox. If I run ZFS drives, I find my RAM usage is very high. However, I don't have that problem with the TrueNAS system, where I'm running an old N36 Turion with four gigabytes of RAM, and that's running 24/7. There have been no issues with such a low-powered environment there, it works fine, but with Proxmox it seems to go slow.""ZFS is great for just mass storage, but if you're trying to make fast storage – something like a SAN-type delivery network where you wanted to do any type of RAM disc over the network – it falls flat. ZFS does not do that. It is kind of limiting.""When retrieving data from the replication of remote sites, it does not give you immediate results. The RPO and RTO rates could be improved."

Top Answer:The question is, can it do a lot better? So for example, it could run an airline, and all the computer systems, but can it do it as effectively and efficiently as it could on other systems? No. That's… more »
