Correct, we just completed functional validation of the OpenSolaris driver. Our focus has now turned to performance tuning and benchmarking. We expect to formally introduce the DDRdrive X1 to the ZFS community later this quarter. It is our goal to focus exclusively on the dedicated ZIL device market going forward. > I kind of remember that if you'd want reliable fallback to nvram, you'd need > an > UPS feeding the card. Currently, a dedicated external UPS is required for correct operation. Based on community feedback, we will be offering automatic backup/restore prior to release. This guarantees the UPS will only be required for 60 secs to successfully backup the drive contents on a host power or hardware failure. Dutifully on the next reboot the restore will occur prior to the OS loading for seamless non-volatile operation. Also,we have heard loud and clear the requests for a internal power option. It is our intention the X1 will be the first in a family of products all dedicated to ZIL acceleration for not only OpenSolaris but also Solaris 10 and FreeBSD. > Also, we'd kind of like to have a SnOracle supported option. Although a much smaller company, we believe our singular focus and absolute passion for ZFS and the potential of Hybrid Storage Pools will serve our customers well. We are actively designing our soon to be available support plans. Your voice will be heard, please email directly at <cgeorge at ddrdrive dot com> for requests, comments and/or questions.
