Yah from what I can tell, it's just using already-there-but-easier-to-look-at approach. Not belittling the accomplishment, rolling all the system tools into a coherent package is great, and the analytic is just awesome. I am doing a similar project, and weighed several options for replication. AVS was coveted for it's near real time replication and ability to "switch directions" to replicate to the primary if you had a fail-over. But some AVS limitations[1] are probably going to make us use zfs send/receive and it should keep up (delta per day is ~100GB) We will be testing both methods here in the next few weeks, will keep the list posted to our findings.
