SAN and NAS compared to Fusion

Storage islands

Storage islands are distinct, separate storage entities with limited connectivity abilities due to their narrow specialization. Such topologies has several drawbacks:

  • Inefficient resources utilization – hardware, network.
  • extensive storagesetups using up much rackspace
  • Suboptimal productivity.

ZFS-based VFusionOS mixes storage-tiers into one solution

  • Complete all-in-one solution with bare metal operating system and advanced management features.
  • Cross-platform with multiple access protocols serving SAN and NAS-capabilities: iSCSI, Fibre Channel (FC), NFS, SMB (CIFS).
  • Flexible storage management with data organized into pools and further into zvols (for block-based storage) and datasets (for file-based storage).
  • Efficient utilization of available storage with thin- and over-provisioning.
  • Independently expand your storage tiers
