Oracle ZFS is easy to scale; you can just get the modules and add them to increase the capacity, and that's it. It's just seamless. To summarize, I can advise those who want to use Oracle ZFS to consult me, and I'll give them very good counsel for free. On a scale of 1-10, I rate Oracle ZFS a nine.
I would advise others to be very knowledgeable of the product before implementing it; do some mockups with it, including pulling a disc out while the system's running, and then try putting it back in a different order just to get a feeling for whether you are going to be able to handle it when things go wrong. I would rate this solution an eight out of ten overall. It's probably the most well-understood mainstream storage platform that exists right now for pure storage. 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.

My advice to others thinking about implementing Oracle ZFS is to look at the options that are out there, get to know the pros and cons, and assess what your needs are going to be before you choose a deployment. I would recommend taking close look at Oracle ZFS. For my clients, it is about me learning the solution and getting familiar with the intricacy of the systems before I go and advocate it. It doesn't help if go and advocate something that I've got limited experience and then can't support. I rate Oracle ZFS an eight out of ten.
Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance delivers leading performance and superior efficiency in enterprise-class network-attached storage (NAS) environments, accelerating business functions, and reducing complexity. This first application-engineered storage system provides unique integration points with Oracle Database which automate storage tuning and data lifecycle management, reduce capacity requirements, and lower TCO.
