ONLY ORACLE OFFERS SIGNIFICANT BENEFITS

Capability	Benefit	Result
Real-time storage profiling with DTrace Analytics	Understand and manage the performance of storage resources from the user, file, and system perspective	Accelerate business performance by getting the most out of your storage and application investments
Automated movement of data across storage tiers with Hybrid Storage Pools	Cut overall storage hardware costs (including power and cooling) by 50% or more without adding administration overhead	Meet data-growth requirements with existing budget, while still meeting SLAs
Industry-leading data protection with triple-parity RAID and triple mirroring	Maximum data availability and performance in the presence of multiple drive failures	Minimize the risk of application outages and maintain performance with industry leading data protection
Thin provisioning	Maximum data availability and performance in the presence of multiple drive failures	Minimize the risk of application outages and maintain performance with industry-leading data protection
Built-in support for CIFS, NFS, iSCSI, fibre channel, and Infiniband	Supports wide range of storage protocols without additional software licenses	Reduce cost and complexity using common platforms and storage management tools for different application requirements and deployment scales across the enterprise
Unlimited, space-efficient snapshots	ZFS snapshots are extremely space-efficient, minimizing creation time and increasing the potential frequency and number that can be created	Quickly create data copies for development purposes or recover from unintentional data loss
Remote replication of data for disaster recovery	Creates a copy of a group of file systems or LUNs between systems at remote locations	Reduces application recovery time in case of a complete loss of data since business-critical data can be accessed from an online mirror
